DIY Scatter-Molkky Yard Game
When the temps warm up outside, we love to get out, catch some vitamin D and play yard games. A few years ago we discovered Kubb and have had lots of fun playing that on the beach and at family gatherings. While looking for a similar game that might be easier for little kids to play, I came across Scatter or also known as Molkky on the other side of the pond. Rack up the 12 … [Read more...]
Build an Easy 2×4 Double X Bench
Last summer I built a double X bench out of 2x4's and 2x3's, I love it and it fits perfectly on my front porch. When drawing up the plans for that bench I was trying to keep with the look of an inspiration piece and some of the build was unnecessarily tricky without an extra pair of hands. Also if your 2x4's have a little twist in them, there was no way to correct that and … [Read more...]
Double X Bench Plans

Hanging Gutter Planter and Stand
I have been wanting to make a fresh herb garden to assist with cooking, but didn't want a large dedicated space in the ground. Everything tastes better fresh right, but a little bit of herbs seem to go a long way. This was the perfect project to check that wish off my list. Also I don't have a great area to hang planters, so I built a really simple stand to hold … [Read more...]
