The fifth-Tuesday posts

Some months have five Tuesdays instead of four. Those bonus weeks roll the rotation forward, so the year ends up with 13 posts per pillar — not 12 — and 52 total. Bonus topics this year: Mudroom transformation (Jun 30), Buying rough lumber 101 (Sep 29), Year-in-the-shop reflection (Dec 29), and Year ahead (Mar 30). Full week-by-week status is in Tab 04 of the workbook.
