Work continues today. I wanted to experiment with the brick paper, I figured doing that on the inside was probably the best course of action. I finished cutting all the window and door openings with various degrees of success. Like any project I should have changed to a new blade right away and instead I managed to do a lot of tear out on the inside all. Not to worried about that as it getting covered up and wouldn't be visible anyway. The first strip is going down with wood glue just to see if that is a reasonable adhesive for this. I'll do the next strip with double sided tape but that's for another day.

| Here is the front. As you can see I didn't make the window openings large enough (not quite sure how that happened, I had the castings right here) and had to lengthen the openings a bit. I did decide to go with two freight doors opening on to the loading dock even though there is only enough room for a single boxcar to deliver raw materials and take away finished goods (whatever that might be at this point). |

| The interior side. I cleaned up the tear out a bit but you can see the worst of it along the middle row (3rd floor) of windows. That's when I switched out blades. The 2nd and ground floors are much cleaner cuts. |

| The brick strips cut out and ready to be glued or taped in place. This is the point when I realized that my floor supports are nearly straight enough. Again lack of visibility will hide a multitude of sins in the construction. |
