Are you me, but with better skill? I do this all the time but the end result is like Homer Simpson’s spice rack.

As the son of an avid woodworker and the grandson of a cabinetmaker, I completely understand this comment.

I could probably do it for $800 and never finish it.

So instead of a cheap Amazon furniture she got a more valuable hand made one. Seems like a good deal to me

Hey have you ever considered acquiring more succulents?

I am a carpenter. I bought a jewelry rack for my partner off amazon. It broke in 2 months.

I assure you your time and effort will not go to waste as this is going to last a million times longer. Not to mention the brownie points!

The last trip to buy pots to separate the existing overgrown succulents also brought home a new succulent. Soooo…

Like when I went to get some mulch for my new gooseberry bushes and walked out with 4 blueberry bushes.

You might have to go back for some sulfur for the blueberry bushes. At which point you should buy some serviceberry bushes.
