SWMBO has requested that I build a "cold frame" from some Popular Mechanics plans. It is basically a mini-greenhouse with a lid that automatically raises to release excess heat. I am going to use Aromatic Red Cedar to build it and was wondering if there is anything I should know, having never used ARC in a project before. Is it particularly "pitchy"? I was going to use pocket hole joinery with SS coarse-threaded screws -- any reason I shouldn't? Also, I wasn't planning to put any finish on it -- otherwise, why use ARC?
Any thoughts/advice are most welcome.
