Several Regions have held meetups already, but others are being planned or are evaluating the interest. The Ontario GTA West area meetup is planned for Saturday April 26th at Greasemonkeys shop in Aylmer Ontario. If you are interested and haven’t signed up yet, click here! Arbutus has also explored interest in a Fraser Valley meetup but it seems members either missed his thread or had other plans. Let him know if you are interested in a meetup later in the year by posting here! Slowpoke is trying to pull together an Ottawa area meetup later this summer. No date has been selected yet, so let him know if you are interested here! We are not aware of any other meetups being planned this year. If you are interested in doing something in your area, let everyone know and make it happen! Meetups are a great way to make new machining friends and get hands on help in your area. Don’t be shy, sign up and come, or plan your own meetup!

What is that weird looking door contraption at the top right of the first photo? The right side looks funny to me. Photo artifact?

I'd call it unfinished siding myself. Good thing too. Keep @DavidR8 out of the shop a little longer. I've had to do some work-work so now I'm once again way behind shop projects. Be nice to get at least one done before he starts using his now new and improved work space and makes us all look bad.

House wrap. Common practice to wrap the entire building prior to cutting in windows and doors and then just peel it out of the way for installation.
It’s a door and to the right of it is Tyvek as @TorontoBuilder and @Doggggboy said.
Now the siding is fully installed.

A fire pole!!
Small update:
90% of the exterior of the new roof build is now painted. Gable end siding, rake boards, fascia and trim. Basically spent three days on a ladder. My neck may never recover.
Note to self: make a wiring diagram so you don't visit the pits of despair when you can't get power to the outside lights and imagine having to take down the ceiling...
Despair averted when I remembered that I powered them off the yet-to-be connected door opener plugs.

I think I need another inspection. Maybe drop off some termites...
Beautiful David. Love it.
I'm pleased beyond words John. Having the attic storage is just amazing. I was out in the shop over lunch moving stuff around so I can run the other lights this evening and I was tripping over some metal stock that used to be on the wall. Pulled down the stairs and had it all stowed away upstairs in two minutes. Just fantastic.
I'm so jealous.
“Barbie Doll Flesh”
Did you pull that phrase from the ‘movie’ ?
We need to see the doors after a couple years of ‘workshop shenanigans’ !!
