My next project - Dillons Lawn Business Flatbed

This literally took me half a day to begin and completely finish. Paint and all.

I would say that the hardest part of this project was disassembling the pallet of wood!!

A friend donated her double seat bike caddy to me for my project. Blessed.

Then a neighbor had a pallet of wood he was getting rid of so I asked him if I could have it.

I measured the interior, exterior, length and width. And came up with my own measurement of how I wanted the flat bed to turn out.

(If you'd like my measurements, please contact me)

I added side rails, and a tailgate. The hardware cost me around $7. That's ALL I paid for this project. The paint, my son bought because he wanted to invest a little.

For the hardware, I used just 2 cabinet hinges, and 2 hooks that came with its little circular piece the hook latches into.

The color Dillon chose was "Pepper Grass" by Behr. I stained the interior with a red mahogany (that I already had).

I then took a little bowl to mix 4 parts "pepper green" with 1 part "black" (also already owned). This is how I created the grass art.

Then I just painted our last name on it that matches his business cards.

And whala. Half day project,... complete.
