it's a house
it's not cabinetry on a grand scale
it's not a piano. not even, well maybe it is, a box for a piano.
make it level, plumb, square and true and it'll be better than most other houses being built out there today.
wood moves, try to accomodate that while building it, and hope the client accepts that when it does.
when we're trying to squeeze that last 32nd out of the joint remember that no one but us will be looking at that joint as closely as us. are we trying to impress ourselves and each other or build a nice, strong and functional frame/house without blowing the budget(ours or theirs)
boats are fun too
