I built the three gates for my fence using pressure treated lumber and spring hinges. By the time I was done, I had $130 worth of lumber and hinges!That doesn't include the price of the nails or screws, and I haven't even bought the cane bolt for the double gate yet (another 8 bucks)!
Here I thought DIY was supposed to be cheap!
On the plus side, nail guns are fun!

It's just funny how quick those "cheap" boards all add up. I screwed up and bought 8ft 2x4's. I needed primarily 3 foot lengths for the frame, so I should have bought 10 ft. ones to minimize the waste.
