oh happy day. the plans have arrived and I have just finished ripping the cedar strips, I also cut out the forms using a band saw from the marine tech school which i currently attend, next on the list is getting the shop cleaned out so i can set up the forms. that one will take some doing as my wife took over my shop about three years ago to raise amazon parrots. I have to move all the cages and birds into the house so I can build. with all the noise that will be in the house I am glad I will be spending most of my free time in the shop.
