What about smoking it all? Maybe a stain that's neutral to the existing unstained and the stained?

Damn quick work as PorckChops said! Do you put together drawings first or just wing it? I'm doing the structural drawings now and I would love to be able to cut everything and pop it all together, something about too much LEGOs as a kid I think.

The smell is more of a concern then the color, we are going to white wash the interior of the small cabin, my dad is a pretty heavy smoker. Even though we asked him not to smoke in the cabin he still would.

We wing it for the most part, my buddy and I are visual people so we can usually just sit down in a half hour and bounce ideas off each other and get it figured out. The only sketch I made was that quick one I did in MSpaint a few pages back.

Going to paint tomorrow.  we definitely have a brown stain/forest green theme going. Should I stain the addition the brown or paint it the green?

What color will the roof be? That should help with the color. Seems like you've got a general theme going though.

I would stick with green then. Are you going to have to cut into the floor of the shed for stairs?
