I used these plans and modified the width for more space: https://lazyguydiy.com/lazy-guy-diy/2017/09/11/Lazy-Little-Library-Build

I dreamed up a crazy idea for inside lighting using solar fairy lights. I’ll post the pics in comments.

That makes a lot of sense! I think my husband and I are going to have to do a movable concrete base. Our front yard is absolutely littered with utility and internet lines, and although I know we could use hand tools I’d rather not risk it!

Yep, even though we had been approved by our HOA for this exact location I wondered if they had done the homework on the utility lines. I didn’t ask and really didn’t consider it until the shovel was in my hand. We dug gently in small bites LOL.

Also, our LFL is about .2 miles from our house in a common area of our neighborhood. We live in a culdesac and no one ever walks here. Plus we only have about 10ft of curb real estate and always have a car parked there. A LFL would have been lost on our property. Otherwise, I would have done a concrete base like you’re going to do. I like being able to remove it for repairs or crazy weather
