When I saw this, my first thought was,

Is that what it is supposed to look like in the 4th pick from the last?? Bleach...... Better to move it to a plot o land and bury it to use as is. The above pic with the fence and gate etc aint too bad.....

Tom how about a closing report on your plywood. Is it still alive unlike the FH?
The plywood table still stands.

This pic is a year old now:

I have a newer one someplace but haven't bothered to upload it anywhere. It looks worse, but not much worse. It is significantly weaker but that's not something that comes through in a pic.

It will still support a medium-sized cat and does regularly. One day, it will fail, most likely underneath the kitty. I hope I'm watching.

You could probably get a little more life out of it if you moved the sawhorses a little closer together.

Btw, what's up with the "There I fixed it." plumbing?

The plumbing evolved over time and doesn't look like that any more. Basically, it looked pretty normal and uncomplicated, then I added a greenhouse with its own supply line and another house with its own supply line. The latest "fix" was to replace the 1980's vintage main shutoff with two new ones, one for each house. Previously, I was unable to shut off one without shutting off all.

Here's the old valve and the kitty and a random boat console on the table last August.

The main reason for going to two valves instead of one was that a copper line buried under concrete failed. Meanwhile, PVC lines buried at the same time are still working today.

Yes, putting a new PVC line to replace the failed copper one was expensive, but not nearly as expensive as bracing the house so that I could destroy the concrete pad and columns on which it sits would have been.
