Garden Shed / Man Cave

Recycling. It's a good practice to reuse some of the items that would ultimately go straight into the trash. Diane and I recycle our soda cans and beer bottles, egg shells and coffee grinds, and other things that could be used for the garden or hobby crafts. 

So far this year I've made a bench from a wooden pallet I found at work, as well as shelving and a storage box from a shipping crate that came with our technology greeting table. 

The shelving and storage box found a home inside our garden shed. I've yet to paint or waterproof them. It was just an idea that took shape over a Saturday afternoon. 

The brown wooden piece that has chains in it - I think that came from a table top and I had a funky idea of a workbench. Yet I couldn't have a permanent bench since the blue bins down below hold glass and aluminum for our recycling. 

 A few hinges were added and some metal chains that are really for hanging flower pots - but the package said they'll hold 16 lbs... and now we have a table that can be used for light garden/craft duties, like seeding pods or mixing fertilizer. 

we have our bikes and garden tools on either side. the lighting I added last year - shines down almost perfectly for early morning or evening projects. :)
