Plan and Prepare for Construction

hey guys alex here from mr build it and yes i finally did it a lot of you've been dming me asking me to make a video on a build that is simple and has limited amount of tools and ta-da there she is raised garbett that looks awesome and has its own built-in low pressure watering system so i don't have to stand here and start watering everything so that wasting time let me show how i did this and you can do it yourself and let's get into the video let's go [Music] all right guys so a few of you have made some suggestions that the next bill that should do it should be garden boxes it's a perfect time of the year it's summer well i don't know enough gardening so i would imagine spring with the perfect i don't any who we're going to build some garden boxes specifically raised garden boxes and you know nuts we we don't do anything basic so we're going to make sure it's nice and fancy i have a general idea of how i want to build them i have the idea in my head i don't usually plan anything on paper and i don't know i don't have the time i'm impatient that way but i do know for sure i wanted to have cedar because it's pretty good when it comes to weathering i wanted to have metal just it's gonna look cool that's all i know and the rest is in my head so let's go get some wood let's go so i don't really have a green thumb when it comes to gardening i'm kind of learning on the fly from some of the research that i've been doing they're suggesting a few things to kind of you know save yourself any kind of headache so some things to consider they're suggesting is number one is the location of your garden boxes um you want to kind of put in the place where it's going to get the majority of the sun and no shade like you don't want to put underneath a tree which kind of makes sense secondly they want to suggest that you're going to consider the type of material you're going to use just because raw wood tends to lead to i don't know rottening but i don't want to use pressure treated just because i'm kind of nervous about the chemicals that they pressure treat the wood with so i'm just going to make sure we're going to use regular wood but not allow for it to be touching the ground as much as we can and at the same time we're going to suggest on it you know let it weatherize it oh and lastly uh the weeds you gotta consider the weeds uh have a weed barrier at the bottom of the raised beds our previous house the owner built them and they never laid it down and it was nightmare…
