Expanding a Window Sill With a Two Legged Table

$20

This post is about why and how to use a two legged table to expand a window sill and use it to harvest all the winter sunlight you can for your plants. Laugh if you want, but yes, there are times (if you are thinking creatively) that a two legged table just might be useful. The goal is to repurpose some old pieces of wood with the intent of maximizing the winter sun's rays coming in through the windows. (Cost based on new sheet of 1/4 plywood and one 2x4 which can make several shelves, depending on measurements. We had these on hand, so it cost us nothing. Time includes application of water repellent.)
Once in place, we tripled the width of the window sill.
Use a quality water repellent to protect the wood from water damage if plants leak.
Extra sunshine harvest!
