Tile Patio Table

My mother in law was looking to re-purpose an old wooden exterior door as a outdoor patio table for her sister, when I was asked what I thought about the idea, I thought we could maybe tile it.  My cousin had some beautiful Filled Travertine tile and accent pieces in his shop, which he donated(thanks again Justin). So here is the result, laying on the bed of my F-150, ready to be delivered.

We added some door casing that was left over from a home I was building to finish off the edge.

It turned out great, and she loved the final product.

Cedar Jungle Gym

The nephew needed a Jungle Gym, and his dad wanted an extra hand, so he could finish it in one weekend.

I showed up with my old trusty Ryobi 18v (that I found laying in the road one day) a level, framing square, and an impact wrench, which always makes things easier. Also, we actually read the instructions when we needed to, (as a last resort.) Just out of the picture there are seven boxes of parts stacked up in the corner.

Beginning to lay the parts out, trying to figure out how to tackle this beast.

The nephew, doing QA on the parts we received. He is going to make sure we do this right.

The impact wrench made light work of a lot of nuts and bolts. Glad we had it.

It is actually starting to look like it was intended to.

Justin is making sure that 1x4 does not go anywhere while I get it screwed in.
