I know you are busy, Tammy, but I'm coming in anyway. You cannot hide when you are doing something this interesting in my alley.

With interesting tools.

And lots of different wood. Katie dropped by to see today's progress. Daisy is the greeter.

Tammy's Shadow and First Attempts

 

This shows you how they weather.  Tammy is extremely particular about the wood.  She makes them take it down so she can examine the individual pieces she is buying.

Planter Boxes Planted. These were Tammy's first attempts when she was teaching herself how to do this work.

Here's How the Wood Gets Cut Down with Dust Pan, Coronado CA

This is where she's telling me it's not that hard....

 

The planter boxes are very strudy and hefty. Note the beautiful wood in the background.

Yeah, this looks pretty easy to me. You could eat off the floor - FYI.

Portable seed starters ready to go with large 3 part planters in the background - All gorgeous and perfect.

Painted and with instructions. This lady is no joke. I think the elves were here.

 

Tammy does not paint.  This is what she shows people so they can paint their own colors when they get their garden box home.

And more action

These are truly beautiful and well made. I will crawl on the floor one day soon for close ups.

Tammy: "Sure, you can watch if you want. It's no big deal."

Tammy: "I just do this a thousand times and every piece of wood comes out perfectly cut the size I expect. Later I nail the pieces into sometihing I dreamed in my head and that turns out the way I planned it.  Anyone could do it."
