Yesterday's project was trying to finish my plant table - basically a large table that'll sit in front of the living room window, so I can put seedlings and such there so that they get a lot of sun.

It's made from some reused wood from old (no longer usable) shelving units, and some garbage-tier hardware store wood for the frame; the new hardware store wood is actually *worse* than the reused wood in many ways...

Anyway, I've almost finished it; I just had to wait for the glue to dry, then flipped it upside down, and now I still need paint the top... and then it's completed!

(It doesn't look particularly nice but that's okay - this is more a practice project than anything, to try out different techniques and see what works, and if something doesn't work, oh well - it's just a plant table anyway)

Today's project was clearing out and reorganizing the garage, so that it is actually usable for projects again, and I can actually reach my tools and supplies properly. Pictures forthcoming, probably tomorrow! Battery too empty to make them now.

The promised pictures of yesterday's garage reorganization:

There's a lot left to do here, but I'm very happy to finally have the whole thing in a usable condition, at least! Instead of having to constantly navigate around all kinds of crap scattered on the floor (instead of being stored where it belongs).

Currently painting the new plant table; weirdly, the cheap primer I used claimed on the can to need 12 hours to dry, but it was fine after like 2 hours? I just applied the top (color) coat on top of it, and had no issues whatsoever.

This can of paint is one of my bargain bin cans - the local hardware store usually has a cart with assorted stuff on it that they are trying to get rid of, usually because they're no longer selling it. Discounts between 50% and 99% are not uncommon - at one point I got some 35 EUR table legs for 1 EUR each.

Sometimes there are cans of paint on there as well - presumably these are the result of some employee accidentally mixing the wrong color for a customer, and them deciding to try and recoup some of the cost for the erroneous can by putting it on the cart at a discount.

So I've been picking up some of these cans every once in a while, and now I have a decent collection of semi-random (and often unusual) colors for projects like this where I don't need any particular specific color!

Tomorrow, when the plant table is fully dry, I can continue with my *actual* project (for which the table and the garage were dependencies): pre-planting seeds for my vegetable garden.

I've also finally installed a garden hose box, because I am sick and tired of my garden hoses laying on the ground outside and getting damaged and needing replacement all the time (storing them inside is impractical because of frequent use and being wet)...

@joepie91 you are on fire! :shadow_hedgehog:
