Comment on It's just woodparent

I used to have a good friend (I moved away) who was a carpenter. One of the things he said that stayed with me the longest was "there's nothing I do that the average Joe Homeowner can't. They're just paying me to get it right the first time."

Try as I might, I simply can't wrap my head around what you say. I'm a pretty imaginative guy but the thought of what could go wrong is rarely more than a speedbump along the way. I honestly don't know how I could get anything done otherwise.

...and a garden box is a perfect example of a thing that can fail the first couple of times without anyone caring much.

Wood is usually a very forgiving material, so it's pretty friendly to experimentation.
