My challenge entry will be to add a municipal water tower for the thirsty folks of Borracho Springs. It will be simple and durable as hell as it will be outside year round. 

That will be a cool looking water tower. I will have to admit, of all the water towers I’ve seen and I’ve seen a ton, yours will have the most structurally sound superstructure ....well engineered. 

Nice idea. Simple, but it will look great.

Well Vic...    You do know that I give you 5 weekends to build.    The 4x4 and 2x4 topped with 1x6, make that about as simple to build as it could be...

Anyone want to take a bet against Vic being the first one to stick a fork into it this year ( again)?

Make sure it's pressure treated

   Love water on top of a building. I never thought of using nails as the support for fencing. Good idea, note made.

   I want to see how you do those windows; I'm not sure I've ever gotten the hang of it really.

I dunno, my hobby time this this year is alot more restricted than in years past,but it being rather straightforward means I should get it done on time.

...and I'm done

Knowing your past projects this could be quite true. You say you're done and then 5 minutes later have found something else to add in the true spirit not MIK.

Cutting everything

Work to date. Here is what I am going after, from the pizza planter layout.

Might not have that rusty patina by end of the challenge. Here is work to date:

Still mulling a few details, in no hurry.

A little more work. Can's too small. Time for Progresso
