I've been asked by a friend to build a planter box snip 61" x 18" x
26.5". There were no indications of length height and width, but
obviously the box will be 61" long. snip

Why "obviously"? Too many people nowadays expect you to read their
mind. Give him/her exactly what was asked for, a box made to those
dimensions. With 61" being the height. Then when your friend bitches,
just say, "You shoulda said then". You should pay for it, because you
didn't bother to ask in the first place; but, in that case, you put
shelves in it after, and use it as a bookcase or something. Anyway,
odds are, no matter which you pick, 18" or 26.5" wide, you'll be wrong;
so. long as you'll probably be bitched at anyway, you might's well have
some fun with it. Or, you could just wait and ask. I'm thinking I'd
probably go ahead and make it, 61" tall. Hehehe

We will never have great leaders as long as we mistake education for
intelligence, ambition for ability, and lack of transgression for
integrity.
