I started out just going to do something "quick and dirty". Just something thrown together to haul wood, no paint or anything. Then as I progressed thought "this feature would be nice". Then another. Then a tailgate would be good. (the way my projects go - they take on a life of their own) so it turned into more work. Then I thought "hey this is turning out pretty nice, I ought to paint it".
But the end result was worth it. My FIL will give it a workout and hopefully it will help him keep active a few more years. That was the goal, to make his life a little better.
