Areas of Expertise: Exterior Projects | Furniture Makeovers

Hey, I’m Rebecca, and if you ask me how hard building a fence is, I will probably say, “Eh, let’s find out.”

I have built and helped others build the projects I write about, including wood fences, raised garden beds, planters, and simple outdoor furniture.

To add to it, I have also completed a hands-on carpentry fundamentals course at a community college in Ohio.
