Sawzall, Heck. I've seen him do it with a chainsaw!! ? And then, what do you do with the deck? I bet there are a lot of people out there with some very interesting bar tops and coffee tables.
Storage can be remedied, cushions can all have storage under them, kinda like a window seat, ya know? Side panels can all have nice storage, you can put a ski locker in the floor, sky"s the limit. Organizing can be much better than before.
