Hi Pat,
I think you've done good! Once you get your skirting on there and it all withstands a storm, what more can you ask for? That should help you out a lot this winter.

Good job BusyBee!
I am a fan of recycling, so in my book you did good! Hopefully all your hard efforts will be rewarded this winter...no freeze ups and less to heat the home!
Good job!

Thanks everyone. Your encouragement is priceless to me! I guess one of the bad things about living out in the middle of nowhere with no one I know close at hand, it's kind of hard to get opinions or instructions or have any kind of feedback. I ask the dog all the time but she just gives me this look and runs off with my sack of screws whenever she gets the chance. Now, if I could just get her to bring them to me when they're way over there, I'm lying on my back holding something up with one hand with the screw gun in the other hand!

Wow, even painted the frame on the access door.
If you put a screen in the access door, I would make it using an aluminum frame instead of a wood one. Since I wrote that information in my book, inexpensive screen kits have become available generally wherever you can by screen. For future screens, I'd skip the wood frame and use everything from the screen kit.
Soon I'll post info on building a new window screen. I've got all the pictures and everything done, just need to put it all together.
Good job so far!

Looks good! If anyone complains that it doesn't, tell them to feel free to pitch in with any improvements! lol
