We have been busy the past two days with some projects. Keeping up with the leaves has turned into a joke. Within hours of chopping up all the leaves, the ground gets covered again. Fine by me...that means I get to ride around the property on the tractor on a mission to destroy!
I washed and waxed Sue's truck Sunday. It looks beautiful! Sue is putting the last 37 coats of paint on the bench we are re-doing. It won't be long now till the varnishing process begins.
We have an old plant stand that was showing it's years so Sue sanded it down and stained it. She also made a new top for it by gluing two pieces of oak together. Once the glue is dry she will sand and stain it to match the stand.
It looks a bit rough at this point, but sanding and some stain will make this a work of art.
As most projects do, one thing leads to another, translating into more work.
Now of course we need something to adorn this stand. How about this old lamp? Of course, Sue is going to re-paint it. Here is the before picture.
Stay tuned for the "after" shot.
We also got the garden torn out. The tomatoes were spent and now the only remaining plants to harvest are the butternut squash.
We planted some gords this Spring. They look really nice as an arrangement on the kitchen table.
I will get some pictures for you soon.
Thanks so much for stopping by. If you see any ads that are of interest to you, please feel free to check them out.
