Could you guys post pics of these ideas? I have no real experience when it comes to building structures. I understand the basic engineering theory behind materials and geometry but never built a static structure myself especially in a DIY with raw materials kind of way. I'm sure I could do it because I'm very detail-oriented and patient with getting each step done right but I can't throw something like this together the same way I could perhaps build a go-kart or amateur race car.
My dad is a civil engineer with hands-on construction and masonry experience but he lives far away from me
