    This is how my projects go. I just claim that I meant to put a few coats on the concrete.
    I love your daughter joining you. It's good to learn early, especially with a parent!

    WOW, WOW. That what was an impressive project, and the finish product is spectacular. You and the family will get years of enjoyment out of it. It also served as a lesson. If your work doesn't turn out as you plan don't accept it, get it right. DIY Princess

    Excellent job and great move stepping away periodically from the challenges with the wall to work on other things and let the mind and emotions settle, then come back with fresh perspective. Glad it all came together so well. Thanks for the great example of what can be done when you don’t give up and settle for less than what you planned. Looks fantastic.

    Excellent project! I'm concerned that the planter will probably crack during the winter freeze from moisture in the soil. Did you consider that? I wish I had a suggestion to prevent that. 😞

    • @WelcometotheWoodsBlog
      @WelcometotheWoodsBlog  5 หลายเดือนก่อน

      Hm...I don't think so. I will do a bit of research but I did seal the concrete on the inside of the planter, planning to apply liquid rubber to it perhaps as well to prevent moisture transfer between the soil and concrete.

  • @lindaroyal8161
    @lindaroyal8161 5 หลายเดือนก่อน

    Looks super good, very nice. I understand planning was more fun than building, only because you ran into a couple of set backs. Wondering why you didn't make the benches the same length as the planters? That's a great use of a corner, that many don't use. Nicely done!

I'm in florida, they are trucked in for my area, sold by the pound. When I lived in Mich. you could get them from the river banks and wooded areas.

      @@WelcometotheWoodsBlog ooo very likely indeed! Where I’m from (New Mexico) stucco is standard for houses, walls and the like. So it kind of blew my mind that he did that /knowingly/ to you. And I think you’re right, it makes much more sense that he actually didn’t know and acted like he did.
