Our kid built a book box for front of house.

Not a Little Free Library, because we not affiliated.

I was trying to keep my kid, whose idea it all was, from putting damn post into the front yard. So I suggested, nail box to old sawhorse.

Painted it, added tall ears and goofy eyes to box. "What is it? Ha! Book Donkey!"

Neighbors pass. Kid says, "This thing is so stupid!" Yes. Later, parent passes, says, "I am looking at this. It is magical!" Yes.

But time passes. Want to upgrade.

Clicky-clacky brain gears move.

Old Ikea kid bed not going to get donated, missing parts.

Set up in side yard with circular saw, reassemble, but differently, cutting short sections, sliding panels back in, all hackish. Make tall box.

Plexiglas scrap squares, glued edgewise, slid into hasty slotted frame for windowed door.

A couple shelves inside for free books

Got to get it up off ground? How?

Kid blurts out,

"On chicken legs! Like Baba Yaga's house has!"
