One mans trash.......

One mans trash is another mans (or in this case - womans) potting bench!!  Thanks to Lyndsay and her interest in Pintrest, we turned a couple of ordinary pallets into a functional potting bench for her to use come spring time.  She told us about her idea and within a couple hours, Ryan and Cody had a majority of it already prepped and assembled.  100% of the wood was recycled from pallets.  We ended up recycling and reusing the boards from 6 pallets in order to make this bench.  Material costs were kept to a minimum by using only recycled wood but if labor costs are a concern, then a few 2x4's laying around the shop or purchased from the store would eliminate that concern.  The roof was a scrap piece of metal roofing material that was saved from a roof at the maintenance facility that was replaced this summer.  Even the wood stain was leftover from a previous years project.  Only a few screws were the only thing "new" needed for this project. Nice work guys!!!



Taking shape.

Assembly complete. Prestain.



Finished. Wow!
