I'd hate to see what you consider a large task. Keep up the good work!

Hard to believe this thing was a raccoon hotel a little over 3 years ago while being stored at my mothers home.

Darrel,
What is the clip attached with a single screw for? (picture 132 upper left corner of the door). I wish I had  your attention to detail, good work.

Going off memory I’m pretty sure its to help with clipping of the deluxe door panel.  Someone will correct me if I’m wrong.
