Awesome thread! Got a green egg last year for my bday/anniversary/fathers day. It came with the BGE Nest, but I thought it needed a more permanent home on the deck. BGE wants to break the bank for their egg table so I decided to build my own. Had the granite slab from a previous grill table I built. Cost less than $100(still have the plans if anyone wants them)...

We're considered essential so I'm still working M-F, but have a list going for weekend projects. Next up will probably be replacing the deck boards with some TREX boards

:EDIT:
Here's the plans for the BGE table...
59 x 27-3/4 Large BGE Cedar Table

Pressure washed sidewalks, driveway, back patio
Hung new string lights on patio
Removed and rebuilt backyard fence gate
Got on roof and blew off leaves
Cleaned/organized garage x5
Installed and added 2 flags on the side of the house (corner lot)
Washed dog a few times

All of this on top of working at the office 4 days a week.

A lot of pressure washing, flower beds, and lawn maintenance. Currently working on painting living rooms built ins and kitchen cabinets when I’m not working from home.

I spent 5 hours cleaning my garage yesterday.

Been thinking about doing some projects that we've wanted to do for a while.

New paint and flooring in son's bedroom.

New flooring and paint for whole downstairs minus master suite.

Wife doesnt like me going to Lowe's though. She is overboard with the virus stuff.

Wasn’t terribly difficult outside of messing with commmercial grade lumber which is sometimes difficult to deal with. I too was going to buy, but with the crazy price of real wood furniture, I wanted to build something myself and save a little bit of money. I didn’t really track the build cost well, but it was probably around $350 if I had to guess.

Yes but I’m not sure where it came from, and I modified it. Sum bitch is STOUT. Plenty of good plans out there though.

Our Lowe's in Madison does order ahead and pick up. You still have to go in to pay, but it's all right by the door so at least you don't have to walk around the whole store. Not sure how that would work with paint and flooring though lol

Planted an herb garden and put some blackberries against the fence.

Planned on completely landscaping and putting in culverts this year but the wife's industry was hit hard by all this so that's on hold another year potentially.

Planned on focusing on the yard to get it to pristine condition this spring so all this extra time at home helps. Crawdude and ronk are contributing also.

I’m almost done redoing an old utility trailer. Added a rack to the front for ice chest. I installed new leaf springs, tongue jack, hubs, bearings, and LED lights. It’s also getting new treated boards. I wire wheeled it down, primed, and repainted it. Last thing is aluminum wheels and new tires. It looks brand new and is almost 40 years old. It was my dads so I’m trying to keep it around as long as I can.
It’s been a good project for my son and I. He is learning to weld and use the plasma. Also ,let him change the hubs and pack the bearings.

Up next is a new diamond plate roof for the UTV.

I finished my very crudely built concrete coffee table for the patio. But it’s for outside so I don’t really care.
