    Thanks. I just need a surface for a makeshift desk for garage. So a crooked cut wouldn't matter, the sheet is here already and hoped to use it. If I'm going to spend $$ on a jigsaw I might as well go to home depot and get plywood cut instead, or I heard somewhere they have scrap bins. It would be smoother than the T1-11 here for sure even with a sheet over it. If the flipping Yukon is not dead.

    Just clamp down a straight edge with a jigsaw. Never needed to cut a curve on sheeting, but I suppose some do.

    Heck, cut it with a chainsaw iffn that's all you got. We cut out windows when framing with a chainsaw and it does a good job.

    T111 will make a poor desk top; a scrap counter top would work much better or a door etc etc

    Most lumber stores sell pre-cut small pieces of plywood, 2'x2', 2'x4', etc. fairly reasonably. Might be worth a look to see if you can make one of those work without cutting.

    Finished some more winter prep yesterday.

    Picked the apple trees I planted in 2024, pruned them just a tweak, wrapped them with protective fencing guarding against deer.

    Hooked up the hoist cables to the dock and removed and stored the dock bench.

    Spread some fertilizer on the tilled garden for over-winter; have to spread mulch on the garlic yet.

    Vacuumed the entire house whish has turned into a daily task with the bernese shedding. :picard:

    Bought a new sofa for the sunroom finally! Then, put a cover on it in case the dogs join you.....:salute:

    Here's a few pics of the sunroom.............

    Hopefully they're smarter than whoever did up this imagine and they get the chain on the correct way. :headbang:

    They put it on backwards so that when you hit a wire in the wall it just skins it a lil bit, but not cut it in two...:D
