      Not really sure. Sheet metal comes in next week hopefully I know next weekend lol. It's pretty light just framed like it is so far.

        Next thing I need to figure out is what to make floor out of.

          3/4" ply would do it. The blind should be light enough even with the added weight. Use treated if you aren't going to paint the bottom.

                  Please explain the "roll sheet metal for the exterior " that you will be using.

                  Thanks

                    Basically like R panel (metal roofing) but is unbent and comes on a roll. Whatever size and color you want.

                        Thanks, that is a great idea.

                        What company are U buying this from ?

                        The reason is that at one show, I was told that they wouldn't sell it to me "flat". Do not know why.

                          That retailer prob doesn't bend their own material. Any mueller metal type place can get it. Usually takes a week to get the size and color you want.

                            One part I left out is Mueller can get it up to 41" wide and 21' long. 41 inch by 21 ft long max.

                            Or can order any sizes smaller than that. About a week turnaround on order. I ordered last Friday and they said it would be on the truck arriving this next Friday. Not real cheap but not much of it is anymore.

                              Got the center window frame done this evening. Hope to get a lot more done this weekend. Windows came in along with the vent. Picking up the sheet metal tomorrow afternoon.
