Default DOMINOed Garbage Can Enclosure - Crazy?

I could've just used a common fence construction method to make
an enclosure for the garbage can and recycling bins - but that would
be boring and no fun at all. Since the DOMINO makes it quick and easy
to cut mortises very accurately, with the option of cutting them with
6mm or 10mm of slop - to allow for expansion and contraction.

Attached is the easy fence construction method and the one I'm going
with. The second attachment is an exploded view of the "plan" using
loose tenon mortise and tenon joinery - LOTS of them. Would never
have even considered this route until getting the DOMINO. Just laying
out the mortises would take a couple of hours and cutting them in the
ends of 6 foot tall "fence boards" would've required working on a
ladder.

With the DOMINO, the only layout lines required are the top and bottom
centerline of each fence board - very quick and easy to do with one
set up of the Tite-Mark marking gauge.

The most time consuming part of this project was shuffling and flipping
and turning candidate con heart straight grain redwood to get their
grain to work together to create a coherent field between the posts
and the upper and lower rails.

When loose tenon mortise and tenon joinery is so easy to do there's
no hesitation to use them when warranted - or just for the hell of it.
