I finally got together all of the materials I needed to start this project. All of the wood, screws, bolts, pipe, sandpaper, paint and hinges came out to $86 from Lowes. I decided too to get some sawhorses, a circular saw and a few other miscellaneous tools to make this job easier. I went to Harbor Freight for the tools and got out of there with a $23 circular saw, $11 saw horses and a bunch of other tools for under $80.
The tools worked great and I was able to cut all of the lumber in about an hour. Now just to put it all together!
