Project Choose Your Own Adventure

big change with the original concept - no longer doing a "woody" but sheathing it in aluminum. After trying to hunt down high quality hardwood plywood in the size I need for the outside, there is almost no price difference to just doing the outside in aluminum which will resist UV light better, punctures and impacts better, less upkeep on the finish and will reflect heat better. It also looks equally sweet.

i originally thought the wood would be the cheaper way to go and was prepared to deal with the finish maintenance (re-sand and reapply varnish every 2 or so years) but the numbers don't make sense. always something to learn with this.

Funny how that works, I swear everything short of carbon fiber costs the same at the end of the day. I would think a PVC fence would be a lot cheaper than wood, but nope.

While the woody look would be classic, I love the new design look. Airstream look with that classic blue will be spot on!
