You said you aren't sure he's building it right, and I'm with you on that. Some of the structure appears not to be glued, only screwed. Scary. Also, the planking looks frightening. He goes on to say things like this: "I’

I think you are confusing quitting caffeine with reducing intake of HFCS. I used to (a long time ago) drink 2 liters+ of Coke at work. I switched to diet, but still caffeinated, and within two weeks, I felt like a new human being. Among eve
