The latches finally showed up, & they worked even better than I’d hoped. LOOK at that. & it holds the shutter closed without the slightest wiggle. I am VERY pleased.
So this window is done! It’s not, really, I still need to add the decorative painting bits & make the frame for the lucite & clearcoat basically everything BUT. It opens, & more importantly, it closes. & it looks AWESOME! I’ll take it.

I also got a LOT of work done on the soap shelves! Check it out: two uprights holding two shelves. (I’ve got the rest of the shelves done too, but I only needed to put two of em in place for proof of concept.)

I hauled them all inside to paint them — it’s monsoon season, so having indoor projects is an EXCELLENT idea — & used the last fence post on the floor. I like how it’s gonna look!

It’s also gonna take forEVer! Yay! *really dramatic flop*
