Here's the southeast corner of the same area of the shop.



This view is from the garage looking toward the shop. Notice the large gap and small gap. That's where the overhead (or "garage") door in the shop and where the swing door in the shop to the east side of the house go.

An outside view of the section of the shop that's under the front porch.
