The red roof is corrugated asphalt material. For the run, I screened in the top for extra protection, and used a tarp until the real roofing was installed.

Inside, I used more of the closet door to filter vents and keep direct breezes under control. We also installed windows that swing out for ventilation. I put down loose linoleum to cover the floor.

Floor and next boxes installed. The floor was made from a repurposed fence section. The next box was part of an old dresser.

View from my 2nd story living room. Note we added about a foot on either side of the run to make sure we had sufficient overhang.
