Finally built that raised garden bed, but I messed up the measurements

Spent all Saturday morning building a 4x8 raised bed for my wife's vegetables. Turns out I measured wrong and one side is about 2 inches shorter than the other. It's not super noticeable unless you're looking for it, but man it bugs me. The soil went in anyway and we planted tomatoes and peppers. Probably gonna live with it and redo it next spring when I have more time. Anyone else just accept their imperfect builds and move on?

Hey you finished it and got it done, that's what matters. With four kids I've learned perfect is the enemy of done.

Two inches off on a bed that size is honestly not bad, you can probably make it work or just flip it around. Wife will still be happy with fresh veggies.

Haha man, at least you built something. I'm three months in and I can barely get out of the house to grab coffee, let alone tackle a 4x8 project.
