I'm not down with "sloppy craftmanship" on any level. Goddammit.Pretty happy with the thing, overall.Built like a brick shithouse, it is. Take a look:01. "Tacking up the planks."02. "Driving the last one home."03. "The disputed corner, now level and right with the world."04. "Fenced in."05. "Looking back towards the house and driveway."06.
