I needed a new tray for the herb nursery, so here's what I've built:
Not fantastic, but the seals are decent and you need to half-fill it with water before it starts leaking. The stain is Wickes bog-standard woodstain and the white paint was nicked from our Emily's school supplies.
This runs a serious risk of turning into a carpentry blog. Are we in favour of the odd how-to-make-X posting? For damn sure it's more interesting than digging.
I'll put up a better picture when the light's okay. Goodnight :)
The lawn has planted itself, probably seed from the old lawn that was shed and got dug in. I've used 7 pallets to make a temporary fence to keep George off the baby grass. Once again, pallets come to the rescue!
ReplyDeleteI loooooooooooooove old pallets! I have 7, which make up two compost bins; 1, which is my 'decking' on my allotment, and a few to act as stepping stones (read, nowhere else to put them). All nicked from skips!
ReplyDeleteAh, the skip is definitely the skint builder's friend! :)
