Weekend Warri-ing

The past two weekends I have completed two projects. The first one was a solo mission, but the second Wes and I were making our ancestors (most notably our fathers) proud.

I have been holding on to Reed's bottles since Freshman year of college. I have recycled my collection whenever I move, but I always want to do something with them. The opportunity finally presented itself. I was able to 'throw away' three shelves in to my car when some remodel work was being done at work.

With my new hand saw, and my dremel, I went from this:

Worth about $1.15 in MA

and

Wood.

In to this:

Turns out a Reed's bottle is just the right height for a DVD. So this is now fully populated with DVDs, freeing a space under the TV for other multimedia goodies.

On Friday, Wed and I were brainstorming what we could do with his new circular saw... and decided that planter boxes were in definite order. Getting all of the lumber to build 5 of these in to my car was a little tricky, but we did it. It was great.

All ready for some dirt and plants!

Now I need to get some dirt and plant some plants! I am thinking Bell peppers, Basil, Chives, Green Onions, and maybe even some flowers! (I tried to spell that flour, and could not figure out why that was wrong for a good 20 seconds.... that means it is time for bed!)
