This last weekend I finished up doing the exterior varnish. I was originally going to do 10ish coats, but after reading the varnish technical data sheet a little closer, I found that only 2-3 coats over epoxy is enough for proper protection. After all was said and done, I ended up with 6 coats over the exterior with 4 coats under the eaves. This should be more than enough, and I can always add more at a later date.

Next up will be the installation of the windows. I still have a few aluminum pieces to design and cut out for this, but that shouldn't take too long.
