Between that book and the forums I'm pretty sure we can come up with something we'll both enjoy building. We've got a few home repair projects to get out of the way while we're planning. We are still leaning toward something like the Benroy. Once we decide on a design we can start collecting supplies.
Originally we had considered building a Weekender with 3/4" ply. But at about 75 lb a sheet it would get heavy real fast. It looks like we will save a lot of weight by using built up (framed) walls.
