My wife constantly talks about "ideas" and "projects" she wants to do off Pinterest. Well guess who gets to complete 90% of those projects? Yep, yours truly because it usually involves building something.

The latest project is almost complete after a bit more stain. After a few weeks of working on here and there plus a few (thousand) cuss words, I'm over Pinterest. But don't worry, she's already told me she has the next thing she wants me to do! FANTASTIC HONEY - CANT WAIT!!!

At least on this one there is a place for my beverages!

LMAO, I'm only laughing because my wife had me build the same thing but in a picnic table for the kids. I know you can't see it from this picture but the center pulls out and there is plastic gutter in there. The thing you'll find is one ice melts quick in south Louisiana with no insulation or top and two it'll never get used except to grow mold. I drilled holes in the corners of my gutter so it wouldn't hold water. Next weeks pinterest project is an accent wall with different lengths, widths, and stains. Can't wait :help:.

Sounds fun Shawn....said no one ever! Haha

Just last night wife showed me a pic of this old refrigerator turned into a big ice chest. Kinda cool, but wouldn't get much use maybe once or twice a year

you can take the girl out of Union Parish, but you can't take the Union Parish out of the girl:rotfl:

My wife ask me to build stuff from there all the time. I say no problem. When she ask what I thing it would cost I allways tell her 3 or 4 hundred dollars. She is a tightass and i know she would never spend that kind of money .

Hmmmm you may be on to something....

Now we're cooking. Don't forget to include a reasonable hourly wage for your labor, or at least lots of refreshment while you're planning and working on the project.

You sly SOB.......... I'm putting this in my mental library underneath the "Excuses" section.

One inadvertent trick I did learn was to start the project and let it sit unfinished for a month or two. Eventually it becomes "my project" that's scattered on the porch. It usually gives me a few months break from her asking for anything else.
