My latest project

[fischer]

I don't think that's really a problem.

[sully]

If I do fall on hard times, you F'ers better be in.

[fischer]

in what? If you fall on hard times and I don't I'll let you help me lay sod if I need it I guess. But I'm not really going to pay you much, as I can lay sod myself.

[P. Marf]

He is talking about our multi-functional business.

[fischer]

I'm not quitting my job to lay sod with Sully if he loses his job.

You can't make money doing it...there isn't any skill to it so people can go hire a couple of stubbs' over on Ft. Worth Drive and they'll do it for some bud light.

Still waiting to stain the table.

Built this adirondack chair. Took me about a day and a half. I forgot to take a lot of progress pictures. All of the wood used was recycled from what was on our fence (not a normal fence). I think it is a cheaper type of cedar.

Framp, check your messages.

[P. Marf]

Got your email. I'll have to see what the website was when I get home. I followed it but I didn't make templates. So I kinda freehanded the base and arms as close as I could.

[P. Marf]

Coming along nicely over here. We have been eating dinner on the deck almost every night lately. Still need to clean up the counter and set up the sink. The counter is an old piece that was in an office building. It was ugly (still is) but I covered it with old paneling that was in our house before we redid it. It has brands all over it. It didn't turn out like I had hoped cause it looks sloppy, but it is better than it was. We have spruced up the area with some new plants and have some other ideas that will come along as things progress. I stained the chair and still need to build another one so Lauren and I both have one. I also stained the table. The only mistake I made was one of the legs turned out a lot darker and it is bugging me. I was down to the bottom of the can of stain and it wasn't mixed real well. It is probably more noticeable to me since I did it , but that sort of stuff bugs me.

[P. Marf]

Damn. That leg is too noticeable. I am going to sand it down and try to even it out. I can't let that bug me forever.

[fischer]

If you hadn't said anything I wouldn't notice it. It'll even out over time and weathering. But if you want to redo it have at it.

Table, chair, and deck all look great.

I was able to procure a free table saw this weekend so my options are opening up to what I can build. I've always wanted one and never got around to spending the money on it.

[sully]

Our deck is 10x's better than it was since I restained it and sealed it. We also bought some new furniture and plants for out there, so that's nice. Not as cool as Framp's at all, but it works for us I guess. Framp's place is incredible. Looks very nice. We need to have a few beers out there soon. Good job Framp!

I did the same thing with mine. I was down to the bottom of the bucket of stain and the last few boards were way darker than the rest. I went over the rest with a new bucket and it looks even now. did that before I sealed it, so you can't tell now.

[P. Marf]

Anyone is welcome any time. I'll leave it up to y'all since y'all have to make the drive. Just bring a boat. We will utilize the ramp 2 miles down the road.

[Jennifer]

Y'all are giving me sooooo many "Hey, Build this!" ideas to give to my husband! Hehe

[cowtownmike]

Looks good, Framp!
