The completed hose reel

Today I had a little time to do some more work on the hose reel.  I had finished painting the vertical support over the weekend so I measured and cut curves into the front face.  It's more attractive now and should allow for smoother wrapping of the hose than if I hadn't cut it down.  Lastly, I sanded down the freshly-cut pieces.  It's all about the aesthetics.

All I need now are a few warm days so the ground can thaw enough that I can sink the reel into the garden.  Unfortunately, it doesn't look like that'll be immediately forthcoming judging by the weather forecasts.
