In Texas I’m sure they use big ole F-350’s for this sort of task, but around these parts we make due with what we have. This is of course ignoring the fact that just out of view on the left is my neighbors F-350, and hiding behind that is his son’s F-150. Regardless my BMW is more than up to the task of pulling out this measly little hedge stump.
These hedges are coming out this weekend. They look pretty nice from a distance, but upon closer inspection they are overgrown, and patchy. They extend over the walk by about a foot, and are also too tall. In addition they are takign up space that could be better used to plant vegetables in the summer, since its the only area that gets full sun all day. Heddges like this can’t be cut back because all of the foliage is on the outter inch or two, and therefore any pruning would leave just the branches behind. Therefore the only solution is removal.
I’ve dry-fit the face-frame of the vanity together to get an idea how it will go together. I put the face frame together using pocket screws, which seems to be the popular way to do it these days. I thought the Kreg jig was a bit expensive, but I must say it works extremely well. Even for my first time using it, it went together very quickly and feels extremely solid. All of the pieces of the frame are all nice and flush too.
Although I’ve watched enough New Yankee Workshop to make me feel like a woodworker, I haven’t actually built much since high school shop class. Therefore I can’t just go out without a plan and start cutting wood, and since I didn’t find any published plans for a bathroom vanity that looked liek what I want, I decided to make my own. Using a CAD program I’ve mocked-up what the vanity will hopefully end up looking like. I’ve been able to get some good dimensions and figure out where all my cuts need to go.
