spring project #1
Sometimes, I even amaze myself ; )
After a holiday vacation I came home to a small surprise. This past winter, a swing seat was left behind my home, by two good friends that thought I needed yet another "project". Recently, when the snow stopped (and my huge web database was launched), my patio warmed up nicely to welcome this lil job.
These kinda do-it-yourself tricks are in my blood, as my mother took on many small projects around the home. I disassembled it, sanded each piece, stained & varnished the wooden slats, spray painted the frame (removing the curly plastic decor) & then bought a few new bolts at the local hardware store. It took less than a week to complete & came out pretty good. Making a fine addition to my new backyard.
