The gates (1 in back, 2 in front) around the driveway leading to the garage were looking a little ghetto. So, I decided I would take on the task of building replacements and installing them myself. Stop laughing -- I do have some home improvement skills.
I'll spare you the detailed stories of the dog getting loose while the gates were down, my learning how/how not to use a circular saw, and the neighbors laughter as I tinkered with the screw gun in the driveway alongside my house.
I spent 9 months thinking about it since moving in last October,
+$172 in lumber and hardware,
+ borrowed use of $400 in tools,
+ $150 screw gun,
+ 2 trips to Home Depot,
+ two weekends,
