Thanks @Girlfromgoldie1 Pretty much!... I did not list the windows and ranch-slider... I found those at a demolition yard and recycling them saved me some money and the planet some waste. Bunnings was my goto supplier throughout the build and still is for our projects now that the shed is operational
