The Redwood Hous e ol Plenty.

Every year, the demand for Redwood grows a little faster than the supply. And, there's little that can be done immediately to increase the amount of available timber.

Actually, people have gone even further and there is very little they will not tackle today. Not all do-it-yourselfers are men. I have seen young women pick up a 4 x 8 sheet of decorative laminate, tie it on top of their cars and drive away.
