The Ryobi tools are now on the shelf in the laundry room but one of the utility baskets that lived there needs a new home. The contents may get spread around and the basket into the donation bin.

I've located a video about gate building that lets me work with the small space left in the fence, so am ready to move forward. I dug out the root and have to finish firming up the post before I do any more building (and possibly putting in one more post). The lumber is all in place and the pickets have the wood preservative painted on.

It seems like sending the care package to my son now might be an odd move with xmas around the corner, but it will help clear stuff on the side of the kitchen table and cluttering the sideboard. It isn't gift type material. This reminds me of a couple of sewing projects I'd like to get to now rather than the last minute.
