Gate Update

Ok, so following my 'Ideal Process" I have completed steps 1-4. My previous post about the gate covered research, brainstorming, and design. From the design I have determined what parts from the existing gate I can reuse and what I still needed. Yesterday I went to the hardware store and got the cedar pickets needed, so baring any oversights, I should have everything I need to complete the gate. The two steps that are left are prepare and construct. I plan to do those today and will share the results this evening.

Prepare. 

I usually just dive in, but this time will be different. I am going to clean up my workbench (should have been done after my last project and probably should be added as step 7 to my ideal process) and gather all the tools i will need, and prepare them if necessary. 

Construct.

My goal today is to be mindful and take my time. This is where I really struggle. This should end up saving time, because when I rush through things I always end up spending time fixing mistakes.
