Two days ago, Dave of the The Home Garden blog, offered up a $100 Home Depot Gift Card if you commented on his blog and possibly wrote a post about a project you would build or create in a weekend with a spare $100 bucks. I decided I would build a picnic table to be placed near my new Intimidating Row Garden so that I could ponder (in the shade) how much still needed to be weeded. Or better yet, how little weeding still needed to be done. I like that version more.
Actually, this is the one I really liked. Built-in shade just in case I had to weed at the wrong time of the day! There is a little more lumber involved with this one but I should have some scrap left over from the chicken house project. Isn't this a fun plan? The plans for this can be found here. I think this could be done in a weekend or less and stained or painted on another.
So thank you, Dave. I enjoyed researching picnic benches and have now added another item to my "To-Do" list. But it should provide much enjoyment over many years so I deem it completely worthwhile.
I hope you get it and very cool indeed. You'll have it built in about an hour.
ReplyDeleteVery neat! I like the cover for those hot sunny summer days. I may have to consider that project for my to do list!
ReplyDeleteLooks very inviting, Heather!Can I join a picnic?
ReplyDeleteHow's the curved trench getting on?...
ReplyDeleteHeather,
ReplyDeleteThere is one like this at a local gas station that has a grill. The cover is fiberglass roofing. The vertical supports for the roof need to be stronger for the winds and snow you get out there.
Save a seat for me at the chicken BBQ.
ReplyDeleteI LOVE this picnic table design, Heather! How wonderfully practical. I hope you win Dave's prize!!!
ReplyDeleteI love the design of this one. I hope you are able to have it in your yard so you can relax occasionally. :)
ReplyDeleteI hope you win! It is mighty cute and I'd sure love to see it in your garden!
ReplyDeleteVery nice Heather, as always. After reading your post I got busy reading Daves and trying to figure out what I'd like to do with the money if I won I forgot to leave a comment. ;-)
ReplyDeleteHi Heather, a great picnic spot! But if you're like me, you'll always be too busy to just sit and relax...it'll be pretty to look at anyway..lol!
ReplyDeleteMy wife looked over at the computer as I was reading this post and said "cool picnic table!" I think I have a future project on my hands! :-)
ReplyDeleteGreat project! I think I'd be sitting there having a glass of wine and avoiding the weeds too! :) -Jackie
ReplyDeleteI hope you win, Heather;-)
