Dale is get­ting into wood­work­ing, so we spent part of the week­end going to the Big Box hard­ware stores where he could find the tools he needed to start a project he’s been yearn­ing to do since we moved.

He’s wanted to build a util­ity table for the deck, one I could use as a pot­ting table and that we could also use when we’re cook­ing outdoors.
