one chapter forgotten.... windows!
my shelter is original equipped with 3 windows on the left side. i know someone who has replaced these windows with better & bigger ones. So i'd asked him about and got them for a crate beer...
the frames are made of steel, with mesh. So i cut one window and make it lower and cut the others to make one big window. glass was made new by a neighbor, it's laminated glass.
