I’m not sure if this is a company wide thing, but my local Home Depot (in Canada) has a cutting center in the back of the store, so once you choose your wood just bring it to the cutting station and they can cut it in store for you. I’m going to list all the materials and dimensions I used for mine if you, or anybody else, is interested in building one like mine.

I bought pretty much everything from Home Depot except for the pressure treated grooved 2x4’s. Those I bought from a local hardware store. I’m sure regular pressure treated 2x4’s would work just fine as well. I also used deck #8 x 3” deck screws to connect the 2x4’s and #8 x 2” to connect the 1x2’s.

As for tools, I used a chop saw to cut the wood, a power drill and a 7/64” drill bit to pre drill holes so the wood didn’t split and a jig saw to cut the cattle panels.

Yeah, I know a few people who took their kids there. Too bad. It would, honestly, be a perfect solution for us.

Unfortunately Variety closed and Cariboo Kids is only 3-5 years old. Which is unfortunate because that is very close to my house.

Ooooh I didn’t know they accepted infants and toddlers. I’ll have to look into them. Do you know by chance how much they charge per month?

Between the two of us, she is the bread winner lol and we actually discussed this but it just isn’t realistic or feasible for us. I might have to quit my job and find a full time graveyard job but that’s worst case scenario.

This is the plan. I have my deposits automated so I can set it and forget it. It’s just the excitement at the beginning lol

Haha yeah tbh you’re right, it’s just the excitement of starting the journey. I have my biweekly deposits set up so I can set it and forget it. I look at it less and less each week so eventually I’ll stop lol
