lacking the proper tools to do the job, I again made do with what I had,

to set in the hinges and door latch catch I used my circular saw to cut in the depth, I still have a little paint left to do the touch ups.

I used a piece of lath board to glue across the top of the plexiglass for a handle to grab the window. I wanted to drill and put in studs though the wood and glass but was not allowed the time to do it. I will have to make another trip out and sneek them in. the studs I am speaking of is roofing nails. drill a hole and push the nail in to the hole filled with liquid nail. this way you know the lath board will never come off. especialy if you put the head side on the glass side, you will have to cut off the nail shank from the wood side and file it down, so if you use aluminum roofing nails that job will be a snap.[/left] [left] [/left] [left]Yes there are more photos to come....[/left]
