This was a fun little 3-hour project - Justthemaid recently started her job at the Bristlecone Pines VC, and they needed a poster holder that wasn't cardboard.
I found some old fencing slats and put this together, more to the theme:

Cool stuff, above ^^^ the aeroplane looks as intricate as the custom build guitar.
Here in Iowa I'm helping the neighbor make a retaining wall to match ours out back. We're ready to throw down some block today. Nice the neighbor has a skid loader and knows how to use it.

Here's the box placed at the Visitor's Center. It was an educated guess as to the stain color (never been to the center before yesterday).
Notice the plastic one next to it. You just know I am going to do a second one...

Yep, MisterE, quite an improvement; hope you saved your specs. My personal take on making duplicates:
A couple once asked me how much to build a dining chair, so for the design we were talking about I told them $1125 ea. I knew what was coming next, and sure enough they asked about a set of six. I told them $8k.
"What? How can the price go up for multiples? It should go down!"
"Well," I said, "the first one will be fun."
I ended up getting an order for all six at the per/each price. Ha.

Summer's been here since January.
Any of you have experience with whole house fans? Got a model you like?
Really hot days only happen around here a few days each year, so central HVAC is too excessive. Even on the hotter days, the nights cool off nicely- bringing in that nice air seems a much better idea than expensive, artificial AC.
It gets cold around here in the winters, so an insulated version is probably key.

^^^ They work great in the sacramento area! The bigger the better. Although sometimes you need to add some more attic venting to let all the air out.
Congratulations BUSHMAN!

Ap, Blublocr speaks the truth; if you put too big of a fan in yer just gonna pressurize the attic.
A high percentage of attics are under-vented even without a whole house fan. Consider
adding a thermostat controlled roof fan in addition.

The attic space is smaller- about 25' x 6', with a 12-12 roof pitch forming the sides. The ridgeline is vented along it's entire length, with 12" gable vents (louvered & screened) on the two ends. The entire house is maybe 1500 sf.
Doesn't that sound like enough attic venting? Or would direct ducting to one of the vents be a better idea?

BITD I was doing some work for a big video studio. They said I had to be
outta there by certain time because they had a shoot scheduled. They started
setting up the shoot but they said I was good for another half hour. Soon
they had the big lighting reflectors up and started tuning the lighting so
I started picking up. Then they started running some sound tests. All of
a sudden this voice comes over the monitors that everybody in America had
heard if they had ever watched TV. It was the pitch man for Chevy. It was
so funny to look 15' away and see his feet below the lighting screens and
listen to him practicing. What made it funnier was how much body English
he put into it! Dood was workin' it!
edit:
Ap, it probably is but you could be surprised if you actually totted it up
and compared it to how much air the fan will move. What might be enough for
a passive system will not really be optimal with the fan. Sure, it will be
better but it could be a LOT better with another thermostatically controlled
exhause fan. They're easy to put in as long as there is some 120AC handy.
You might even be able to run both fans off of the same circuit.
