All done! Re-hung and trimmed

It's quieter and less drafty
now, too.

The gentle curves of the 3-sided
bays use bent shingles. Here

Once pliable, the shingle is
bent around the corner and
nailed in place. Way cool.

It's actually blueboard, not
drywall. These panels will be
coated in veneer plaster later.
