Ragtag Do-It-Yourself Weekly Challenge, Week 4
For those of us somewhat side-lined by winter weather, I though an exercise in constructive imagination might be fun.
I've kept the rules simple and few, so everyone will feel free to dive in.
1. Choose 3 items each from the Resources and Tools lists.
2. Explain how you built your virtual project.
3. Pass the challenge along to someone else so we can swap as many ideas as possible. Who knows, they just may have the solution you need to a pesky problem or a suggestion that fits your situation like a glove!
4. Use #diyragtag so we can find your post.

Here's an example:
RAGTAG RESOURCES - Pick Three
Two 2x8 Boards, 8 ft. long ~ Old Window
A Dozen Bricks ~ A Large Plastic Tarp
TOOLS - Pick Three
- Hammer ~ Saw ~ Drill ~ Shovel ~ Cart ~ Ax ~ Wedge
Trowel ~ Staple Gun ~ Post Hole Digger
Your choice on power or hand tools. Fasteners are freebies. ******
PROJECT: COLD FRAMEUse the saw to cut the boards in half, making 4' lengths, 8" wide.
Use the hammer & some nails to make a 4'x4' square box that is 8" tall.
Place the box over plants to extend the growing season by protecting them from frost/freezing.
Put the window on top of the box to make a mini green house out of it.
Use the bricks as needed to adjust for venting and/or raising the height of the box and/or the window to accommodate plant height.
Use the cart to haul your harvest to the kitchen.

I appreciate the invitation, however, my opinion would be negligible as I'm not very familiar with his work or group. Not my 'cup of tea', so to speak.
All best in you future endeavors!
awww thank you all the work is my original work deb and its great to get another interpretation of my work it gives me unique insight into my art. I appreciate its not your thing! thats fine and thank you x looking forward to seeing more of your posts!
the picture is very good I really like
immediately i think about ten different things i could make - if i knew how to make them! good at seeing the end result ... i like this challenge. i'll sleep on it and see if i can come up with something for you.
Good deal! It's a fun little puzzle to work through... oh, and there's no rule limiting you to one project! Have a blast and don't forget to tag someone else to play, too.
