My SIL had that sink in her yard for years and when she decided to clean up she asked me if I wanted that sink. OF COURSE!! It is very heavy you almost needed a crane to get it into my back yard. SIL had it right in the ground, but I think DH's idea is really better. At that time I didn't know I was going to put a raised bed in front of it. She isn't a gardening person so that is why I lucked out. Now I have to look for an old tool box, who knows we may even have one around here in all his junk.
Oh my gosh, Cinda, I love that chair you got out of the trash! Mmmm, I know someone who used to have chickens, wonder if he still has some things I could use. He lived in a mobile home with lots of land, now he rents it out.
