Ragtag Do-It-Yourself Weekly Challenge, Week 8
Ragtag Do-It-Yourself Weekly Challenge
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.
The challenge will run from Saturday to Saturday.

Thanks!
Great challenge! I think that these items could make a great rain water catchment system..
Thanks! I actually get a kick out of choosing the items. The final outcome is usually totally different than what I'd imagined might be done. Love the creativity bouncing around this place!
Oh boy!!! This is going to take more brain power than I'm used to using. Haha! Thanks!
Lol! Well, the good news is there's no rush. Mull it over, scour the DIY sites, pick the kids' brains, tie it into rock collecting - just have fun!!
Plus pass it on to someone else & drive them bonkers. That's fun, too! ;~P
You said easy? Lol. Not for me but I will look at some of your other posts to get the jist of it. :)Joy
Yup! Just a mental puzzle to play with - pick three of the materials, pick three of the tools and make something useful or fun then, write a post and earn some SBD.
I'm an eager gardener that's currently snowbound and has 'cabin fever'. This challenge is a distraction 'til I can start growing stuff again and I'm taking y'all along for the ride. I'm ornery that way... ;~D
