Thank you for all the info, looks like I have some reading to do! I may have some questions for you if you don't mind
And for sure I will be getting my plans looked at. I hope it didn't come off as cocky when I said the plans I drew up are "simple to me". I just meant that the house looks...

I had been dreading this job but it had to be done. A few weeks ago I went to install a new rear lid weatherstrip and found some small rust spots starting.
