  1. plywood exterior finish looks mediocre when freshly finished, and awful after a year or two exposed to weather.

    otherwise, cute looking house. future iterations will hopefully have a better exterior finish/execution.

  2. Who cares about the look. It's about sustainability. How about being more worried about the look of our planet on the inside, not the outside???

    A better question to ask is "how does the plywood exterior hold up", and are there equally, or better, sustainable materials that could be used instead to furnish the outside?
