    Shara, "WOW!" That's all I can say. And from an empty field. A lot of work and an incredible result. All you need now is a place for Lucy to rest her bones and some seating for you and maybe even your Husband to rest your weary bones while you watch your garden grow! I don't see much grass growing under your feet though. I bet your burning up thar note pad you showed us last week right now! You've got me motivated. Thanks for Sharing!

      @WoodshopDiaries  2 года назад

      Thanks so much! We definitely need some seating out here and a place to hang out. Eventually we want to add a patio area, but we have to have some work done on the yard first so the land slopes properly--away from the house haha. I'm glad this inspired you and I really appreciate you watching. I've got plenty of scribbles in my note pad--now I just need to bring them to life!

    What a lazy Saturday for me! Just now getting around to your video instead of racing to be the first to comment (after my careful listening for any words are hard moments!). Truthfully, it’s nap time, so you may have slipped some by me, but I did catch you talking about your dead yard, and a flat spot, but I can’t believe you didn’t follow it up with claiming that you’d selected a “dead-flat” portion to work in!! Okay, nap time, and I’m kind of happy I was so tired watching your video the “first” time, because that just ensures that there will be at least a second time today. 😉 😊

      Lazy saturdays for the win!!! I hope you enjoy it! I'm jealous--I need one of those! I got up early and did some plumbing and drywall work in our bathroom remodel and now I'm just grumpy. I think I'll follow your lead and take a nap haha. I'll try to add some words are hard moments in my next video ;) stay tuned. But in the mean time...enjoy your nap and the rest of your weekend!

Hope your weekend turned out better, and to tide me over until your next video comes out, I think I’ll have to stalk around your old videos and IG, see what else I can give you a hard time about! 😉

  • @Fishbone8891
    @Fishbone8891 2 года назад

    I built one of these over the weekend. I combined both sections in the middle and left the 4x4 posts on one end 6 feet tall so that I could grow some vine cucumbers on that end. I ended up having to use 1x6" x 6' fence pickets as the 1x8" we're special order and I would have had to wait a week to get them. Happy accident because as my planter was 4 feet by 12 feet in size I had to move around 3000lbs of bagged dirt to fill the thing and that was an effort. Thank you for the cedar plank design, it was easy and turned out great!

  • @WillysPerformanceCycleCtr
    @WillysPerformanceCycleCtr 2 года назад +2

    Very nice build Shara! Your idea to use the landscape fabric inside and outside is a great idea. Should help prevent those pesky weeds! The cedar fence planks sure come in handy! I cut them down and trimmed the windows in our cabin with them. Works great! Once again, this is a wonderful outdoor project for the spring. We’re at our mountain cabin this morning in East Tennessee, and it’s snowing this morning! No accumulation, but it’s fun to watch! Keep on building Shara! Have a great weekend!

    Great job. When i built mine, like u did, I used self piercing lath screws. They have wide head almost like a washer, which I hope will keep the boards from being pulled out if there is too much pressure. I also went much cheaper way. I just used 2x4s, curious to see how long it will hold. I'll be building one more today. I ordered 4.5 cubic yards of soil and still have lot left.

    • @WoodshopDiaries

      Great idea! I built a raised bed from standard untreated pine 2x12s a few years ago and it lasted two years of planting and was still in decent shape when we sold the house and moved. We left it there, so I can't speak for sure, but I'd say it had another two years at least left in it. So I bet your regular 2x4 beds last a good while as well!

    Wow. $23 a piece for a 6” X 8’ cedar board at Lowes. Christ.

      Didn’t use that. Used cedar planks. Under $4 each 👍
