Workbench and such

I think it’s about time to share some pics and document some of the recent home projects I’e been working on. I’ll try to keep the text/photo ration in the favor of the photographs.

Meet my old mailbox post. It was leaning over about 20 degrees, falling apart, and the mailbox was all beat to hell.

This is the new cedar post with the new mailbox. This badboy is set almost 2 feet in concrete stained and waterproofed.

I added a few elephant ears to my front bed. The plants from last year are HUGE, and getting bigger all the time.

I call this the ass and fire wood holder. It opens from the back to store wood, and you can put your ass on the lip that over hangs the deck and use it as a bench.
