We ordered a soccer goal... been playing in the backyard with my son almost every day for a bit. He's going to flip when the goal arrives, he doesn't know.
It might be hard to convince the wife and would require unnecessary trips to the hardware store/home depot but I'd get a super kick out of building a small bouldering wall, probably behind our garage. The other one.. and this requires it to be a bit warmer perhaps is I have everything to make myself a homemade fuzz pedal for electric guitar. I have it built on a breadboard... I have a circuit board to transfer it onto, I have the housings, switches, the whole 9 yards. I need to finish that project. Main challenge being drilling the housing.. I don't have a drill press that is realistically good enough, I'd have to try and start it with my dremel drill press and then finish it with a hand drill. But soldering the circuit board together in my garage workshop might be kind of crap till the weather gets better. I have a heater but I need the garage open to do that much soldering. I should probably be ordering bike parts to overhaul both my road bikes too.. but that's big bucks. I bet that would cost more than doing the rock climbing wall idea. The rock climbing wall would be $100-200 of holds I'd have to order + a bunch of 2x4s/4x4s, a few sheets of plywood, and maybe some concrete. I have some of the stuff already.

I can't remember the book...it was the mechanic's bible back in the late '60s, early '70s...but I do remember that it specifically warned against doing exactly this to a 3 speed hub, without the appropriate tools. Hell, I had a crescent wrench and two screwdrivers! It was the only repair the book warned against. Everything else was fair game...

If you need help with that, just ask.  Note: I'd prefer mine with powdered sugar!

Well, building wheels isn't hard but can be difficult. Certainly a challenge and certain basic 'tools ARE required. Biggest problem I'm having is getting boxes to ship them. My local source(ProsCloset) is closed. BUT sure, if you can get a rim, spokes and hub..give it a whirl. Lotsa of really good online tutorials.
