$370 left to go!!!
Delivery will be between 1 and 4 tomorrow. Fedex Freight requires appointment for residential delivery. I was happy to find that out! Just need people to show up now. Another person cancelled and someone else is iffy.

Not a happy camper. People here, Fedex delivered, put $100 worth of Dow 795 on frame, go to put acrylic in place and it's 3+" too long and 2+" too tall. That's hardly within allowable tolerances of what I ordered to fit what we built.
Back to being a happy camper. Laird Plastics credited me $100 for the Dow 795 at my request to make it right. Going to rebuild the front section to hold the larger acrylic.
Disappointing day, but we'll rebuild it to fit.
Fedex Freight, before we started, wet help (was pouring when Fedex arrived), what $1675 worth of plastic looks like, prepped plastic, about to start caulking, disappointment of having to put plywood cover on opening.

Ken is tied up with a project for the next two weeks. I have some logistics that I want to review, so I'm going to work up a plan and we'll start on it in a couple weeks. I'd like to have it done, but I'm in no rush. Taking this opportunity to revisit the structure and make some adjustments. I may build the front wall, put the acrylic in it on the floor, then stand the entire structure in place, but we'll see.
