Wife wanted a plant shelf on Amazon for $60. I said, pshh, I can build that myself. So I did. It only cost $90 and took all weekend. (lemmy.world)

Made entirely from 1x2 pine. Ripped into thirds for the shelf slats. Pocket holes. Glue. Brads and glue for the shelf slats.

I'd like to see you're wife's version of this post.

His wife obviously is a plant hoarder. She'll probably buy the Amazon one, too, and overload both with innocent, helpless seedlings.

That monster.
