Ragtag Do-It-Yourself Weekly Challenge, Week 9

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 FRAME

Use 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.

Yay! Just saw it and y'all knocked it outta the park. Great job!

I need the snow to go away in order to participate. I need the space outdoors

Agreed on the sentiments towards snow. Had enough.
There are no limits on space in one's imagination...

I try to get in on these challenges and I get so busy I forget. I will try to get in on this one, no promises but I will try. 100% upvoted and resteemed!

Thanks and I'll look forward to see what you come up with! The main thing is to have some fun!

I can't believe I forgot about this!!! I even talked to my husband about helping me! I'm still going to eventually try though. Sorry I missed last week!!!

No worries... you can do your post anytime. There's really no deadline, so have a go at it when you get a chance.

None of these fit with anything i will be doing. Really great to see this project still going and inspiring more. Have a great weekend.

Me neither! LOL! I just choose random materials each week & see what folks can make out of them. Basically, it's a mental puzzle to distract from waiting for spring to arrive. Some of us are getting really antsy. ;~p

Have a great weekend, too!

oh yeah! that's easy ;). this'll be fun! i'll play... did something similar in real life, lol! :)

Lol! Yeah, I caught that episode. (Still love the log water system!) I knew you'd be able to handle it!

Don't forget to tag someone else when you're done...

:)
how do we tag someone? like in our post? and ask them to take on the challenge?

Yup - just like that!

carry on your daily activity&.I expect you will be succeed.
@resteem & follow done.

Thanks!
