God forbid we end up not liking something, again, and have to tear it down and rebuild. Easier to scrap plywood than old growth western red and near extinct Port Orford.

We seem to be running out of space to cut wood… Spring where are you?!?! When we built the shed we didn’t take into account that 3-4 months out of the year we won’t be able to just head outside to make the cuts we need. Currently the table saw (located in the above picture on the righthand side), which would be really helpful right about now, is buried under a few feet of snow.
