Been busy shifting some things around.
A few weeks ago I dry poured a quick 1.5" concrete pad under the truck / between parking ramps. I will eventually go back and put down a smoothed 2" top layer. This pad receives no weight and its only purpose is so I don't have to lay in gravel anymore. I will eventually expand it so it all runs up to the concrete sill already in place. I also set me up a little chill spot in the back with my unused patio table and chairs. Nice place to sit and work on electrical stuff too. Sometimes sitting at a work bench for hours on end is a little rough.
Internal sliding and folding barn doors are cool from a novel stand point. However it gets a little old after a while. That and I was giving up valuable square footage in the front corners for clearance. Everything came down and I am currently setting is up standard like. Eventually a sort of boxed-in awning is going to close in the rail hardware to weatherize it and hide it. Paint to come as well of course. This method also required me to cut some "door passage" channels in the overhang of my roof. I did a quick hack job with some tin-snips, I will eventually go back and put some flashing back over it to make it pretty.
I plan to seal the top opening with some large weather stripping when I get to that point.
