Well here's the fruits of my labor at the end of week #1.Completed cutting all the 2x4's to length, drilled the last of the 320 dowel holes, inserted all the dowel pins and have the front, back and sides assembled:
Yours truly drilling the final hole:


A shot to this point:

The Cypress give a nice natural look, I've been useing it for the past two years with no problems. Why switch now?

Its starting to look really good how are you going to manage heating? i should imagine the temperature will be fine in the summer but what about the rest of the year?
