Built me a raised veggie bed today

 

 

 

 

Those look great! What wood did you end up using? Looks like cedar on the top.

Thanks,ordered online from HD,we got what they picked out,was all supposed to be yellow pine untreated wood so....it doesn't hurt that you get a 2 shades makes it look nice.

as soon as this shit blows over, I'm going to do the same

 

I would advise you to leave about a 1-2’ space between the bed and the fence. That way you can access the plants back there

Looks great. Wife wants to build 2-3 of those next week. I'm game. May go get supplies in the coming days.

I also built some raised garden beds, my wife's garden was sacrificed when the new garage went in last fall so I owed her something nice. No idea how I'm going to fill these with dirt and plants with everything being locked down now.

Great design!

Feed the neighborhood.

Decided to use all of the good grass/sod from the boxes and transfer it over to where our two dogs have worn down to the dirt and tree roots..

 

 

 

Once I was 2 boxes worth in I realized to finish it I had to "harvest" more and more digging all the non essential parts to quilt it all together to get coverage,this is close to finished.

 

Next time just buy sod.

I am currently remodeling my living room and figured to throw up a few pics of the various builds and projects of it on here.

 

Dead space corner in my living room, has a 8 foot tall fern tree in the space...

 

 

Said plant wanna be tree....

 

 

Had an idea Sunday and built a frame out of scraps from my woodshop...

 

 

Stained the center to make it almost invisible

 

 

River stone tiles leftover from another project...

 

 

And completed. Clad the leading edge between the couches in bamboo boards so you can't see the frame at all.

Fills the space perfectly and the wanna be tree will go right in the middle....(not adding it until I finish the floors soon which is another work in progress)

Another piece recently completed. It is pretty big at 4 ft wide by 2 ft tall as it was designed for a specific spot in my living room that needed a little something something to help. And I LOVE mountains....

 

Simple pine wood, sliced and diced into specific sizes with the tablesaw

 

 

Some white paint and plywood backing..

 

 

Starting to take shape... used a different stain mix on each mountain to keep them subtly different...

 

 

Finished product...

 

 

Fits the space perfectly...

 

 

Thanks for looking....(ignore the floor, it's a work in progress still)

[greg1647545532]

Nice!

[zeitgeist57]

Well done, Brian!

[Otis Nice]

VERY cool. That's good stuff right there. You could make a living making things like that.

[TimTaylor751647545500]

Not much needs done to the new house, but I’ve spent some time in the garage so far. There was a really odd corner shelf setup that was taking up valuable space so I removed that along with some crappy shelves on the same wall.

[TimTaylor751647545500]

The other shelves I removed.

Not sure why my images keep rotating. Super annoying.

dude, this is perfect, how much do you have wrapped up in this and did you use weather treated wood

And also, is the membrane you using underneath permeable? Just to keep weeds out or help keep water in?
