+1 on this!

I am already looking for things, my Daughter's are 5, and 3.5 yrs old. I am a hacker, and DIYer, and they already want to learn so much. One thing that always helped me, was Legos, Erector sets, and good 'ol BASIC programming. Those are still great places to start, but now, you can throw in RaspberryPi ($35) or…

Being a DIY person is about 3 things:

Made this table to go with our pool lounges. Best couples of hours I ever spent to have an inexpensive table to put our drinks on.

For $11, I turned a pallet into a media shelf for my dvds, games, and cds. (I blogged about it here: http://canttakemeanywhere.wordpress.com/2012/09/09/a-t….) The nice thing about this is that I was able to match my new media shelf to my refurbished entertainment center.

I made a wooden car for my son this summer. I used 2 drywall's pallets.

I never really understood this DIY craze. I'm a heavy pinterest user so I've seen everything that people purportedly make with pallets, but I guess I don't get why it's such an attractive option. Are they really so easy to obtain and so much cheaper than normal plywood? I'm honestly very curious.

Great timing. Just finished this project.
