well if you can afford to i'd just buy some sheets of Birch in. Building 4x 1850 your gonna shed some tears and spill some blood - so you might as well make it count!
If you are skint then, just go for it. But you will regret it if you are just being tight! If you are asking something tells me you could dig deeper... |
