Succumbed to complete rocket insanity...

Tomorrow should see the corners and door assembled and the entire monstrosity covered with plastic sheeting. There is one small error where one fan opening is about an inch too wide (an easy fix).

In retrospect, an EZ-up with walls may have been a good way to go. Less work but a higher cost if bought new.
