      Hey John, Bought the plans and can't wait to make it once my local lumber yard opens up. One request, would you be able to add a cut list for 5'x5' sheets? For some reason my lumber yard sells 5'x5' birch plywood 30% cheaper per sq. foot than 4'x8'.

Everything in his shop is custom made out of plywood. Obviously very talented.

You know the original setup.. clothes washer next to stove, clothes dryer next to fridge in the dining room, no dishwasher, galley kitchen with blank, empty wall at the end. Including the dining room, its 9' by 24'. Oh, and no pantry!
    The original few cabinets were stick built in place and rock solid, but not configured well. I can see this as a cab next to the sink or along blank wall. Something to do next lockdown... rubs hands together happily!!!
