2 planters done

 Start my day with a 45 minute walk 

Dixie was happy she got a walk 😁.  Then I get home thinking I'll get nothing done cause my anxiety peeked after so I sat and started out the window as every thought I abruptly end half walk in process.  It got to be less or cutting trees and cutting only half the branch. It be like a human getting  gangrene.  Like if the limb is particularly half cut off and nothing happens to it the rest of the body dies.  Like a tree 🌲 if it's half cut it sucks the life out of the whole tree.

So my thoughts felt awfully similar.  Writing a list and as I go through stop and wonder if I should and don't.

So I sat in the office til about 1 after completion of a walk at 11.

Then I emptied the dishwasher, listen to a podcast. I find it I listen to someone else talk I can organize myself just enough that my Dyslexia doesn't go to an autism spectrum.

After the dishwasher emptied out get out and start building a pallet planter. Which I kept talking myself out of it cause it wouldn't work I thought. Then I found some straight wood and I thought I could mix the two to actually make one.  

I think it only took me an hour an a half with out sorting and pulling nails and picking the stuff up.

So I figure the cost right now with lumber would be about $60 with tax.  That's excluding pick up and labour of it. Also with out the screws cost to it or stain or paint for it.  Yet some might like less toxic stuff in there garden cause it's all cured wood.  That might be a seller for some.  But I did it with out a mitre saw only a circular saw.  Which for me is pretty amazing.  Also I figure it's not the straightest.  But I covered it with the nicer even wood so I figure that's a plus.

But anything more than a circular saw I'd have to say I'm working with pallets here, already they are imperfect pieces of wood.  I think that's the strategy of it all is were all imperfect and imperfect pieces sometimes together and make something work and into something wonderful.

Over all I think if I were to sell the planters I most likely sell them at $120 each or both for $240.

Which I figure no one would buy them unless it was cheaper. So there's got to be a cost cover for it all.  Usually I got the numbers from cost of lumber to double that for labour and time.

I figure these first two now that I sort of have an idea how I'll do it. Is I'll give them away for mother's Day. 

But il might pick up some pallets if I could, be a bit more organized. And pick up a bit of lumber as well to do it.  I think I could make it feasible at $120 each.  But when the plastic or vinyl planters around the same size sell at $35-$60.

I don't know how it's supposed to work like it to work.

I think it's might only be a fun project to use up some old wood in the yard and try to clean up ☺️

Give them as gifts for each of my mother's, one for my mother in-law and one for my mom. A third planter I figure now that I looked and I do have the wood, I could work it out try trading one for a gift for my wife, which is on mothers day also. Where in in the midstate of bargaining a deal if it works, now that I think about it. Something might work out for those lines, hopefully it doesn't fall between the lines and falls throughout the the cracks.  Some things have other hurdles as in races as I look at it.  Some times corporates don't like other corporates competitive and they bet on other similar market shares to stifle competitors into losses.  

That's getting off the narrative thought of goods and more into service.

Like locked phones, which legally shouldn't be a binding clause in today but we're using dated tech.  Often things need only long lost sim cards or a device is often compatible with brand company sim card.  Which I am told won't be a problem in the transfer.

Other pandemic worries is time to trade.

When to and can one do in these situations.

After is,

  I think that's the best gift is a virtue that often some times you get nothing in return.

I think those are the best gifts 🙂

Just for the hobby and the ones your can say you appreciate in you or my life.

Working with wood today sort of saves me from me. Now that I think if it. I got meditate and just sort of not deal with all the other emotions of what one does when they see nothing is getting done in a day.  And to much blood has been spilt over nothing.

So for this and that if I were to peddle with words and round the corals or plurals in how archiac life is.

With "well, never-mind today also."

Life has enough problems in the day than a next day and beforehand.

Just getting busy on a task I enjoyed enough to be with myself and see the day go by being a productive person.  Made my day.
