I enjoyed the Culture Shock item, the Sign War and Beau's story. And I just want to take a minute to say how much I like the photoshopped images celebrating Miss Cellania that you use for these posts! I wish I had your skills at doing this!

Debra, I have no Photoshop skills. Many of these were done with generators over the years, and the best ones are from my brother, who is a graphic artist.

Lumber doesn't grow on trees, you know.

Their suggestion of using pallet wood is terrible. Many pallets are treated with pesticides and are unsuitable for either burning or building.

I agree, pallet wood is crap, that's why it's used on pallets which are a throw away item for the most part. Composite is the way to go with wood prices so high. It will save you a fortune in maintenance costs plus tons of yearly upkeep down the road and should last 25 or more years.
