Garden Number One

  So Todd and I ran down to Siwek Lumber to pick up some cedar for our first garden. Tom Siwek was there in the yard working hard, or should I say he looked like he was working hard. We are building all of our gardens out of cedar because it is more resistant to rot and then the gardens will last longer. Oh and cedar smells great too!

Here is the lumber we started with, Three 6'- 1"x12"s and one 6'- 4"x4" all cedar. 

We cut the 4x4 into 14" lengths and cut the tops at the 2" make at a 45 degree angle to create a decorative finish for the tops. 

See our fine decorative tops? Pretty fancy! Next we pre drilled the 1x12s so the wood wouldn't split. Then we used 2 1/2 wood screws, for on each board on each corner. 

Our finished end cap.

Then we assembled the the sides with the end caps.  

Here we have it the finished product. I wonder who will end up with Garden number one? We'll keep you posted.
