    Almost finished it today, drank some beer and lost some motivation.
    Then the Pro Bowl came on. I could have finished it then I got stuck on how to do the front doors. Can't slide up cause the pitch of my roof , A-frame cabin.
    I will get some hinges tomorrow an make split doors opening to each side.

    Enclosure would not fit the door of my hobby room , .53 too wide.
    Remove room door and went in. That was a close shave

    Remember the 6 P's

    Built ventilation system for enclosure today. 6" flex pipe and 4"dry vent tubing with a 5" component fan 85 cfm seems to plenty of ventilation. Both pipe outside of the house , taking a cut and running wide open the enclosure only emits 18 decibels and a inside temp. Of 64 degrees . In the summer I'll hook the intake to the air conditioning vent.
