Check List

You know those items that get on your to-do list and get stuck there? Well I got one of those items done today! Yipeee. In our back yard, there is a bench that is attached to the patio. When we moved in the wood was very old and starting to get splintery. It's great to have when we have people over for extra seating so last spring we took it apart, and bought new 2x6 boards to fix it. Well we needed to cut them at a 45 degree angle so the wood promptly got put away and soon forgotten. Or at least put on the back burner. So this spring I decided to finish the dang bench. I found a friend who was willing to help me to cut them, then they sat again until this week. We finally made it to the store for some stain, and I got all the holes drilled. Yesterday a good friend let me use her big workshop to stain them. They dried and we got them back this afternoon. So the girls and I put the bench back together. It's so nice to have it finished. It only took 1 1/2 years. Here is a picture for your viewing pleasure.
