Great build, love the stance - looks relatively practical. It looks like you're going with a raised bed floor in one of the pics. Any reason for going this route vs your original intention of keeping a storage area fore and aft of the frame notch area? Or maybe you're still going to go that route? I like the idea of keeping the storage area full depth in those areas myself, so just interested in your thought process here.
