Outdoor Projects

I have built a number of projects around our homestead for my wife, grandkids, and myself.

Greenhouse

Hired a company to build the pole barn frame to create my wife's She Chalet. I attached 50 windows, two doors, Hardie Board siding, multi-wall roof, and installed the interior benches, water, lighting, fans, and LP heater. Click to see the inside of the greenhouse.

Raised Bed Garden

Built my wife her dream garden with16 raised beds made out of western red cedar. Installed a front door and back screen door plus eight foot deer fence.

Kayak/Canoe Boat Rack

Four boat rack with the frame made out of pressure treated wood and roof out of western red cedar. I have big plans this winter to build a cedar striped canoe. Used free project plans from Classic Archive.

Covered Sandbox

Built a sandbox for my grandkids with lid that coverts to seats to keep the critters out when not in use. Sides are 14 inch barn wood boards and top/seats are western red cedar. Bought the plans from ThirdStallWoodwork.

Fire Pit Oak Cookie Cover

I asked the guy who cut up an oak tree that fell on our property after a severe thunderstorm to cut a three inch cookie. The tree was over 100 years old with a diameter over 36 inches. This was my second attempt with epoxy/resin. We use the cookie as a table top on the fire pit in our biergarten during the warm months of the year.

Deck Jenga

I used Canadian fur 2 x 4s to build an 18 layer 27" Jenga game with a three inch platform to play on our backyard deck.
