Trading a DIY idea with the one you gave me for the pallet corner planter..This is for a folding trellis that costs over 25 bucks at Lowe’s..

Thank you, I like that trellis! I’ve been looking for something that was that shape, but a little sturdier, for my cucumbers and melons this year.
That’s an interesting idea. Thanks.
With a table saw, I could cut the strips from a 2x4x8 and bring that cost down to around $3 with 8 strips left over, or make it a little longer, and I know I have hinges around here and staple gun and SS staples. You could cut wedge shaped pieces of wood instead of hinges, if you wanted ultra cheap and didn’t have hinges. I have found that like casters, hinges are a bit pricey. I save them as well as casters.
I sent the link across the room for my wife to look at. :)
I went outside just now, and it was really cold feeling being cloudy and windy,15-25mph and being used to the warm sun for a few days. I did not stay out there long, for sure.
I planted T squash, yellow squash, and pickling cukes in plastic cups, in the sifted potting soil.
While outside, I salvaged 2 pieces of 3/16” hardboard(Masonite) from some old store fixtures that I am parting out. I will use it as a backer boards for the chalk board and dry erase boards on the childrens easel that I am going to build. That means I dont have to spend $14 for some thin plywood to do the same job. I have salvaged a could of maple shelf boards, some grooved tracks for sliding doors, some pieces of oak, and, of course, the casters. :)
After saying that I wasn’t cheap a week ago, maybe I am. I get it from my dad, his favorite price for anything was FREE.
sockmonkey-—My wife liked the trellis. So it may happen. Her new thing is quilting. She has made a sewing room in the 3rd bedroom and finished her first quilt, a baby quilt for the new grand coming in Oct. She has always sewed a bit, but seems to like it more and more. She is a creative person and likes to make stuff.
