It took a bit more work, as the OSB was in odd sizes, but the pieces were free. Our windows were rejects from my son's job, nice RV windows...tinted sliders with screens. We probably cut the price of the shed in half over using all new products.Annie*s Grannyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04772261218172078099noreply@blogger.com
