Granted, but at least use pressure treated wood with a minimum of 3 sheetrock screws highway use.
Redwood or Cedar is acceptable for California, Cypress for Florida.

Cedar splits too easily!
I prefer Green Fir.

Morgans depended on oil leakage, so that's always a theory.

I like that.
My neighbor had a problem with his garage door opener which I put a temporary fix using a rubber band from his daughter's retainer. I gave him clear instructions on what to do to make it permanent.
Wanna bet I'll be back there when the rubber band breaks?
