It's hard to justify building stuff that I don't need or that the community doesn't need just to get a badge. We also have a lot of random odds and ends around that can be repurposed...with enough nails. I know nothing about joinery, as yet.

Here's me building a bridge to go over a creek. The creek floods every spring and currently has a not-long-or-wide-enough board over it. I've fallen in the creek a couple of times and so I decided it was time for a better bridge.

Our garden needed a new compost bin, so we built one out of this weird crate we dug out of the forest. I don't know why these are here or what they were once used for, but we had to cut them out of the blackberry: https://photos.app.goo.gl/sFUBp3vsscDno7aPA

We covered the back of it with spare 2x2's that somebody thought would make good fence posts (they didn't): https://photos.app.goo.gl/S3TZ5NhcjQUjSogr9

We found some extra plastic netting in a shed and stapled it to the inside: https://photos.app.goo.gl/uTGx4CM3xxJ3q8xs6

We put a roof on it: https://photos.app.goo.gl/4xzozpn4u4devHDt9

We need to make more. Lots of projects to do though!
