Now its on to the short walls. I followed the same process I established for the long walls. One thing I should point out. When I'm doing the initial layout on the back of the stone paper I always mark the top and bottom edges as well as the sides. Since I'm working on the back side of the paper I need to remember that I'm working a mirror image. So if I measured from the left side of the wall, I need to repeat that measurement but working from my right. So mark the paper with an L on the right side and an R on the left side. I mark the bottom because I want to use the original cut edge as the bottom edge, that should be the straightest and unaffected by the wanderings of a knife or scissors. If I'm making two pieces from one sheet of paper I flip it so I'm, again, working from a straight edge and not the cut edge left by the previous piece.
So lots of pictures here to show off how things are looking after I did another round of dry fitting.
