Construction is complete and I've moved it to the permanent location just outside of my back door. I've completed the upper top shelf including the backsplash and apron, likewise for the bottom shelf. What you're looking at but can't see in this shot is the clear water based sealant I painted on the whole structure. That turned out to be a big hassle. Actually, not really a hassle, but AFTER I had it all built, I thought of a far easier way to add the sealant--paint the boards BEFORE assembly. :doh: Even easier: make a long shallow trough (like a gutter) and soak each board, then lay them out to dry. Easy peasy. Of course, I'd still need to coat the cut ends of the boards... Anyhow, lesson learned. I will probably make another one for Twil.

Here it is all loaded up with plants and pots and tools and dirts. I'm very happy with the results.
