Make a wooden garden tote

Am I smarter than a fifth grader? No, not if it involves power tools.

Now here's a project that's about my speed: A garden tote you can make with your kids

I don't have kids, but my spouse says I have the physical strength of a child. And I'm more than a little deficient when it comes to completing projects that require coordination, precision, and physical strength. And that needs to change soon, because there's a lot I need to get done.

Here's a list of wood-related items I want to acquire in the near future:

  • A pergola
  • A new shed
  • Something pretty for storing garbage cans
  • A potting bench
  • A deck
  • A treehouse
  • I'm sure there's more

I am beginning to realize that in order to have my dream home/landscape, I'm either going to need to win the lottery or become a better DIYer. And I just might start with this garden tote.

What are you making for your garden this year?

I am making my mother a birdhouse with an area for the birds to relieve themselves one at time.
Ok its a very small bird bath and Im buying it at the store, but a garden tote would be a great idea as well. Posted: 11:55 am on April 28th
