Sense,
I have ample woodworking experience, a reasonable compliment of toolage that I know how to use, no wife, no kids, a girlfriend that works full time, lives 40 miles away and is very tolerant of my taking time for projects. Beer fundage is unlimited, within my capacity to drink 'em. I'll have oodles of time this summer to build. As for bandages, I'm going without. I figure it'll cut down on my need to budget for wood-stain.
I am planning on a two-phase build. Phase 1 will consist of making a shell similar to the lil-caj inn, including building up the frame from scratch. Take her camping, see what I like/want. Phaze 2 will consist of detail work...completing cabinets, installing music, shelves, etc in the cabin.
I think I've developed a reasonable sense of balance between function and art. Yes, I do want this thing to look good, but ultimately, it's about using it. A scuff here and there, a drip/run in the epoxy etc are not desireable, but will be tolerated if it will keep it from being a 1000+ hour build.
Gratzi!
