building things. and power tools. and manly things. or whatever. so check out this new work bench that austin and steve {with a little help from me} constructed for the garage.
jealous? maybe not. but still. i'm quite pleased with it, especially since the only thing we had to buy for it were the two by fours for the legs because that plywood top was left in the basement by the previous owners of the house and the red base underneath that is actually our old front door!
{the inside was plain wood, but the outside was the maroon color}.
once we get some things cleaned out down in the basement, we'll put the work bench along the left wall over here with some tool storage above and below the bench.
and since austin now has a work bench, he was able to put it to use when our friend clark came in town this past weekend to visit!
austin and i have been wanting to make a corn hole game for a while, so austin and clark used some of the leftover lumber from the workbench to make these:
and although i'm not sure that veggie gardens are considered to be "manly things," i'm going to give you an update on them anyway. so we planted our garden the last week in march, so things have been growing for about a month and a half now. and look how big things have gotten!
and can you tell it hasn't rained in forever? the grass is all brown and crunchy. awesome. so we've been having to water our gardens regularly to keep everything from dying, but at least we get to use our rain barrel on occasion. funny thing about rain barrels, though, it has to rain for them to fill up. right.
anyone want some tomatoes? because holy moley we're going to have a lot.
so yeah. a post about manly things and vegetable gardens. this is my life, people. very exciting.
