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.
![The latch is fastened to the lower right corner of the shutter. It matches the hinges, & looks pretty good.](https://www.thevagabondtabby.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/20200531_153549.jpg)
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.)
![The two sides are built like ladders, with two vertical boards held together by small horizontal ones. They stand, facing each other, one propped up against Tyrava's side, with a shelf resting on the top two rungs, & another on the bottom two.](https://www.thevagabondtabby.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/20200531_153500.jpg)
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!
![Four rows of boards have been fastened to the floor inside Tyrava's front door, each stretching across the width of the floor. They're different widths & different shades of brown.](https://www.thevagabondtabby.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/05/20200531_153450.jpg)
