Hey Gail!

I’ve been interested in a nail gun of some type. I noticed you used one for building this crate. Do you have suggestions? I do not have an air compressor and do not know what I really need. I would only be using it for repurposing and maybe for airing up things. I’d love you have your ideas about what I might need.

Oh i love these little crates Gail. And extra storage is always nice. Hope you’re having a good day.

I just saw some crazy expensive crates in a catalog. These are so much better and thrifty too!

I love this! My mom just gave me some of these thinking that I could use them in my garden. But this is soooo much better. I am going right now to start on this. I love your blog.

LOVE these Gail- I just bought some crates at Walmart and am trying to customize them with paint- but I really prefer the solid look of yours. Thanks for the tutorial!!

I come across these all the time in my dumpster dives. I am so sad to say that I pass them by!! Never again. This is genius! Pinning and sharing on my FB. This is the best use of things that get thrown away all the time.
