Continuing work on the removable back wall. I cut a new plywood wall for the back using the foam core board as a template.
I made siding templates for the sliding back wall, interior and exterior.
I applied the siding to the templates and used the same paint glaze process as I had for for the side walls. Here it is in process.
I glued the sliding wall panel to the free-moving side channel using Weldbond and super glue gel. This is the only place on the side wall that has a two-piece board, but it’s not an eyesore.
The final trim should disguise it even more. Plus, there will be other things going on that you might not notice at all.
There will be finishing trim along the top back to hide the bare wood that’s there at the moment. The wall blends well on the outside. I spray painted the brass bar to look like old metal.
On the inside, the side breaks are mostly hidden. The studs and cross beams will disguise any remaining breaks. I will be finishing the bare wood here, too.
When open partially, it could serve as a back door opening for some interesting photos.
The mechanism runs relatively smoothly. :D
