From selecting wood and staining, it took about a weekend to build and an additional weekend for finishing. It's stained with Minwax classic grey and protected with three coats of poly. Recommend only using 0000 steel wool between poly coats, as sandpaper took off the stain. Also modified ladder and safety rails. For smaller space, it works great! Build cost came in as expected. I used a Kreg Jig and flush screw plugs. Great project! Best I was able to find after an exhaustive online search. Keep up the good work!
