A little update. No good snow in the Northwest so we have worked a bit on the garage pod instead of going snowmobiling :(
We skinned the garage pod ramp door with the same 1/16" aluminum as the sides, drilled out all of the holes for the various hardware, then installed 1/8" aluminum diamond plate trim around the edges. This also acts as a flange for a gasket. I think it is starting to look halfway decent.
We also cut out the teardrop trailer size side door opening and test fit that part. Not going to be elegant going in and out that way but it is nice to be able to quickly get into the pod without pulling down the ramp. I think it was a reasonable addition (a full size door would have hindered our built in shelf system). We installed two of the floor panels and most of the 2 inch polyiso floor insulation. The floor will have 6 flush mount tie downs for various toys.
Getting close to the painting/truck bed liner step but we need consistent temps of 55 degrees.
