I know what you mean about "took us longer than we wanted" -- it seems like every project I go to do, no matter how simple, always takes far longer than it should, and there are always stupid complications. Last weekend, I needed to fix an underground water line I accidentally sliced -- I had every conceivable flexible PVC component EXCEPT the 3/4" straight connector I needed -- reminded me of the lyric from that Alanis Morisette song "It's like 10,000 spoons, when all you need is a knife."

I would really like to see it.

I'll have to see what I can do to get it posted.

Everything is growing well now. We already transferred beans and squash from it to the garden. They've held up well through two storms. Soon we'll be ready to move out the tomatoes!
