Can you share with us the cost and labor for this project?

It ended up being about $3,000 and maybe a total of 2 weeks of work. Its hard to say because I spent a lot of time waiting for stuff to come in the mail. The overall process was almost 2 months

Thanks for the info.  If I was to build similar trailer, do I need special tooling?

I am seriously thinking about a small trailer like the Teardrop or a converted van.

 I dont think I used any specialty tools for it but the big must haves were a router and tablesaw for sure.

Backyard starting to look great with flowers blooming. Unfortunately I have to postpone some projects due to my company is deemed "essential" and we returned to work this week.

Thought I’d hang some “made in China” that’s been sitting around for some years.  Now we have an official regulation dart hallway.   :smt006

If that circle thing is not in the way I’m sure I can land the dart somewhere inside the cork board. ☺️

I run a few elementary school garden programs and lost access to my greenhouses on 3/13. So, I'm "working" from home now after I picked up a cheap greenhouse online. Hoping to get access to the campuses next month to start redoing the gardens for summer/fall.

Raised planters! I had to take 2 small trees out to do it. Going to get the garden going to reduce grocery shopping.

Also am in the middle of removing the stump from a large tree I cut down in the back yard, leveling the back yard, and figuring out how to landscape the backyard.
Raised beds look great, John !
