OK, pics should be up, now.

Helpful hints:

Wrap your tools with high-viz tape. You will go goofy constantly searching for them in the brush, dirt, etc.

Get a vise that'll attach to your saw horse.

Get a good PVC blade for your sawzall and use it with the vise. Make a few marks to denote proper pipe length, position pipe so sawzall guard rides the vise cleanly through the cut, where your marks are.

Get a semi-rough sandpaper pack and de-bur each and every cut you make. As noted, earlier, those 1/16" variances do add up.

Have a few extra straight couplings on hand so you can use your left-over pipe segments. Have a Fernco coupling around, too!

Constantly check for square and plumb. Keep in mind that the pipes do have some give, and that'll work to your advantage, in most cases.

(Patting myself on the back, here: If you look at the pic of the frame work, so far, and check each post against its neighbors, you'll see I've maintained square and level, give or take a very little, here and there.)
