Been putting this off all spring but finally got the materials Saturday morning. Built 3 beds 4x8 and filled them with soil by Sunday afternoon. My 6 year old helped dig which was
Got a quote from a contractor for $8k to build a 16x12 deck. Figured I'd just do it myself. Spent $1200 on materials and I'm about 6 hours in. Back is killing me but I'm going to s
Taking my 5 year old camping next month and he basically only eats chicken nuggets and mac and cheese. Can't exactly bring a freezer. What are some good camping foods that don't re
