Peter,

I really like your idea.  I called around to the lumber yards and got a
best quote of about $66 for the lumber.  My question is about the Douglas
fir.  I just asked for "4x4s" and "2x6s".  If I don't specify Doug fir,
what am I probably getting?  Does it matter what softwood I use for
construction?

The problem I have now is that I can't find 4x4s that are NOT
pressure-treated.  None of the local lumber yards have 'em.
