First day progress:

I built the main box out of 1/2 inch plywood and joined sides with box joints:

The I added some 2x2s at the bottom. These will hold the plywood floor up off the ground - should potentially help the bottom not rot as fast:

Then, I went a little out of planned order, and tested out my trim ideas on the front of the box. I had some ideas in my head and wanted to see how they looked before I bought too much wood. This order of construction should work out ok anyway because I'd like to wait until the end to add the items that may need to be replaced in the future (should make them easier to remove):

I'd like to finish construction on this one tomorrow and maybe get some primer on it (not likely, but possible

).
