so i had this bright idea:
i want to build a play house.
actually, i want to build a log cabin.

but i thought i should start small.
so i bought the plans to make a dog house.

and today i patronized the local lumber store
(home depot be damned...and they didn't have the lumber i needed anyway)
where the very nice gentlemen went through the entire materials list
and walked me through the blueprints.

so $487 later they promised to deliver the materials
to my door step

this doghouse is going to cost me more than my first car
but it'll probably last longer.
