New Woodstock


When I originally built this house I used a 7/16 plywood. Well, even though I did my best to seal the edges from weather, Woodstock lost a couple of plies along with Snoopy's right ear. So, yesterday, I took it down an made a new Woodstock and ear. I used a piece of treated 1x4 that I sliced in half with my band saw and sanded the rough cut side. Then I traced out the patterns, cut, sanded, and repainted. The new Woodstock looks right at home. I will probably be taking this house to NC when we move.
