Ok... LOTS of work on this last page or so... super tedious putting up the bamboo slats - each were varnished and then cut into place to fit - then drilled and mounted to the beams. Because they are structural I put them about 6" apart and so used a lot of them (I think around 84 or so?)... but they look killer.

On the door - had to have help for this... I think it weighs about 300 lbs or so - so it took me, my friend "Contractor Mike" (in photo and who will help with electrical in near future), and a dolly to fully manhandle that door to get it in place. Door is solid and I really had to beef up the structure with the strong walls so we could mount it and not have the structure sway at all. We are sitting good - door is fully balanced and there's not even a creak anywhere when you open the door.

Mahalo and really appreciate the support!
