how learning happens while building a garden bed

1.  Use the appropriate tool inappropriately
2.  Fantasize the result of your labor and assume your binding spell and a little luck will be enough
3. Overestimate your ability to do it by yourself
4.  Confuse the top with the bottom
5. Worry about waking up your teenage son, outside whose window you are noisily hammering
6.  Ignore the details
7.  Forget that preparation and clean up are actually longer than the build
