Got to work on my garden frame. Built the ends up with 2x4s, and they do look kinda cool. Borrowed a 2x4 from the Mack the Neighbor. Bought one later to replace it after dinner with Ma and Pa. With tax, $1.72.

Finished one end, ran into trouble on the other. Screws wouldn't go all the way into my predrilled holes. Eventually my screw driver ran out of power. Tried driving the screws with my ancient electric drill. It's not built for it, but it worked better than expected. Still some screws wouldn't go. I think I need to drill the holes larger. Probably only a problem where I'm hitting knots in the wood. Had to dash off to dinner. Hope to finish tomorrow and get the garden dug.
