So here's the 'plan'. I used Google SketchUP (which if you don't have it... you should get it... it's FREE to download and LOTS of fun) to draw a picture (NOT to scale) of what I'm envisioning. I tried to put a picture in here of the sandbox drawing but... it isn't letting me :-( because it's 3D. Anyhow, I will be sure to let you know if what I saw and what I end up with are even close to the same.
Today I am heading to HomeDepot for materials (I will post pictures and stuff after the trip to see how it goes). On my list is:
- 8- 1x6x6' cedar boards
- 2- 1x3x8' cedar boards
- 1 Tube construction adhesive
- 1 1/4" galvanized screws
- 3" galvanized screws
- hinges (I'm going to attempt to attach the cover like doors... we shall see)
I already have plywood (that I'm going to cover in landscape fabric that we already have- to avoid splinters) and the tools I need. I'm pretty pumped to hit the stores and get started! I am going to wait on buying the sand until I know exactly how big the sandbox is going to be!
Hopefully Addison will be digging away by this weekend! YAY!
