You got that right...

I built a large split level deck and an arbor at the house here in town. My joints looked like fine trim, cabinet work for about three weeks. Now it looks like I used a chainsaw for all the cuts. Alot of it is cupped, twisted and the shrinkage is unbelievable.
About five grand worth of lumber. Never again...
