Spent most of Saturday building a raised garden bed with my 6 year old. Used some YouTube tutorials and honestly it came out pretty decent. Wife planted some tomatoes and peppers. Kid thinks he's a farmer now and keeps checking on it every day. Small win but feels good to actually complete a project without it falling apart or having leftover screws.
Nice! I love that you got your 6 year old helping with it. Those are the memories they remember. Did he help plant anything in it after you finished?
Honestly the fact that you didn't screw it up is impressive. I built one last year and it took me three tries to get the corners right. Your 6 year old is probably going to tell everyone at school that HE built it though.
Dude, fresh veggies from your own bed hits different. After I get my meal prep organized for the week, I'm thinking about something similar. How much work was the setup?
Nice work getting it done with your 6 year old helping. We're planning a veggie garden for this summer before our next camping trip, so this is the kind of inspiration I needed.
That's awesome man! My kids and I painted a bookshelf last month and honestly the process was way more fun than the end result, but yours actually looks good. YouTube is a lifesaver for these projects.
Building stuff with your kid is the best. Did he actually help or was it more like you let him think he was helping while you did the real work? Either way that's quality time right there.
That's awesome man! Getting your kid involved in actual building is such a win. YouTube tutorials have been a lifesaver for me too. Which design did you go with? Thinking about doing one myself.

Nice work getting it done right the first time. YouTube tutorials for parenting projects are a game changer. So glad that's available now.
