To do a woman's work!!
I say this tongue in cheeks because my husband really wanted to suprise me with a pallet compost "stall." I'd set aside the day to build it myself but while out myself he tacked the project himself.
I returned to a complete box made of pallets minus the roof! To top it off, he turned them tall ways so the only way to turn the compost is to climb in!! I'm going to try to salvage it but I think the nails are too badly bent.
Wish me luck, I might be literally swimming in compost soon!

Maybe you could just cut the front pallet down to half. That is how I have mine and it works great. Stuff stays in, plus lots of area to turn. At least he didn't put a roof on it.

Aren't they so helpful!!! LOL That is the kind of loving stuff my husband does. He means well...oh, he means well but...the way he does things and the way I do things...not the same at all! It's really hard to just smile and walk away. Hope you were more successful in that area than I am! After 25 yrs...I am finally learning to say "nothing" is better than to open my mouth at all.:+)
Blessings,

My husband does they same type of stuff and thinks he's being so helpful. Ugh! Sometime I have to tell him "this is a no go zone! PLEASE don't try to help". He gets the picture.

Oh,
I know how you feel.
One autumn, my husband decided to help me with the cutting back of the dead flowers. Unfortunately, he mistook my raspberry patch as being something that gets cut all the way back. (They have sort of recovered - 5 years now.) I wanted to scream, cry, something! I was able to thank him because he really had worked hard and he really did mean well and he really hates to garden. He knows better now, but he maintains it improved the raspberry patch. He is dead wrong.
