Thanks KZ, I'm glad I came back in to double check everything in between finishing the 7th panel and laying out/doing final cuts for the 8th. You worded this very understandably; and, helped to confirm that the measurements I've marked are right.(I tend to take the "Measure twice / cut once" expression to extremes; but, it saves a LOT on materials.) I definitely agree on the square versus plumb/level point. This small of a building can always be re-leveled (and will probably need to be from time to time); but, if the door isn't square, no amount of leveling is going to help it. Something I should've mentioned; but, neglected to do so is that (on something like this) I've always used a couple of strips of what I'm going to use for flooring on the bottom, to retain the squaring and to hold everything together when moving things around. A little fishing line helps hold things together, as well; and, if it gets jammed in, it's thin enough to not really matter.
My sincere thanks to all 3 of you who've helped. I've done things like this a few times over the decades; but, they've always been several years apart. The last one I did was about 4 or 5 years ago; and, there's been one heck of a lot of "water under the bridge" since then.I'll post a link to pics when I get it all done.
