Pretty good for a first go. You may have a knack for this.

And you probably noticed a ton of stupid little time-burners in the process that you will now avoid. So next time, you'll be much quicker.

Kinda like how I spent the last week trying to get a section of drywall perfect, only to realize that some flaws actually do hide well under paint.

Sometimes you have to waste time now to learn how to avoid wasting it later.

Good work :)

Thank you! I definitely "wasted" a lot of time. But that time "wasted" was definitely used to learn. The gate on the other side of my house is also falling apart. I'm not going to replace the post because that concrete just covers my whole side yard area, but the wood is rotting at the top. Not sure what to do here. Might use wood filler and rot repair and try to get some more years out of it and just build a new gate. Excited to learn though!
