Got a bit more done (finally). Cut, prepped and painted the OSB for two of the walls. I painted before assembling so I could get all the surfaces, especially the edges. I read that that’s the best way to weather proof OSB. Two coats of waterproofing solid color stain and sealer... I hope it lasts!

Good Move!
Yes, the edges are susceptible.

Because all I have for this is nights, and nights are starting earlier and earlier

I Love my headlight! My Dh bought me a rechargeable tactical one, makes life this time of year livable.

I love mine, too. It’s downright necessary if I want to get anything done. Mine is a cheap one from Amazon, but I did get rechargeable AAA’s for it.

Headlight is one of the best tools I've ever purchased.
Bought one for camping years ago...now it's must have for nighttime chicken chores,
and many other application(more and more the older my eyes get).

Two walls painted and assembled!

I started cutting the OSB for the third wall. To cut the window opening out, I ended up drilling a large hole in one corner and freehanding the rest with the jigsaw. Turned out nice!
