Made this outdoor bench (She Shed photos added)
Found this old tailgate at a flea market for $20 and knew it had to come home with me. Was missing the release latch and I filled in the hole and leveled it before painting it. Here is the finished product. Weighs a ton and would withstand a category 5 hurricane. Goes well adjacent to my wife's "she shed".

Very, very cool ... but I gotta ask ... did you marry a Munchkin?
|
Cool idea. I like it.
Brucebubs - it's not the house, it's a "she-shed", which is a recent name for a studio or potting room (detached from the main house) that is primarily a woman's domain. A counter point to the "man cave". ;) |
Very, very nice. Love it.
|
Nice "she shed", nice bench. You did a great job! Did you build the beautiful little house? What's it used for?
|
Very cool!

The workmanship of the 'she-shed' and the bench are both outstanding. Beautifully done. |

Very cool bench. I would be most happy to sit and ponder things on it.
|
You can't beat re-cycling in this way - great bench.
|
Nice bench.
Does that "she shed" double as a dog house? :D |
Thanks for the kind words. I'd like to say I built the "she shed" from scratch, but I simply bought one of those off the lot storage buildings and then snazzed it up for my wife, including, but not limited to: insulation, vinyl plank flooring, shiplap walls, ceilings, a ductless all year mini split heat pump, front deck, etc. She absolutely loves it, using it primarily for crafting, but also working remotely from her she shed 2 days per week.

Murphy, I understand . . completely.
