    Just finished building the two boxes that will make up the euro style canopy. Un-sanded, unfinished, with no trim.

    Trimmed and pre-sanded. Obviously in need of another round after filling nail holes and what not.

    And the back before the excess gap sealer was sanded down.

    Now just needs to be hinged, sanded, stained and sealed. Woo8)

    Finally finished the minor details of the canopy. Such as mounting the lights in a removable manner for bulb changes and maintenance, hinges, completing the sanding, and plugging screw holes with stainable putty. All thats left now is some staining and sealing.

    Heres the finished product from various stages and angles.

    I know right! I'm starting to panic. On a side note, I just learned how to propagate a maxi mini, so after the move when everything is settled in... We're cloning that nem for you.
