Why cut down forests when we could grow fields of hemp? I'd be surprised if this would be a better and cheaper product than what could be done with hemp.

Here's a tip. When you drive a nail or screw make sure the point is higher than the head if the wood will be exposed to water. That's often not possible to do but many times it is. That way the water will shed from the wood instead of seeping down the nail thus rotting the wood quicker. I've repaired many homes where it was obvious that water was seeping down the nail or screw and rotting the wood quicker. Most carpenters don't know this trick and it's much easier to drive a nail downward versus slightly upward.
