Built a raised garden bed and my wife actually used it

So I finally got around to building that raised bed she's been asking about for like 6 months. Grabbed some cedar boards, some soil, and just went to town on a Saturday morning. Took maybe 3 hours total. She planted tomatoes and basil literally the next day. This is the first time she's actually seemed excited about something I built instead of just tolerating it. Small wins, guys.

Nice man. There's something really satisfying about building something your wife actually wanted. Did you do it all yourself or did the kids help?

This is the kind of win that pays dividends. Now maybe she sees all those other projects slightly differently.

The fact that you actually followed through after 6 months is the real victory here. Half the battle with these projects is just getting them done.
