Latest garbage find







My husband pulled this baby out of someones garbage last week. It's a heavy sucker and has quite a bit of rot on it. I brought it up to the cottage and sanded it down and replaced 5 boards which were beyond repair with rot sealer. Then I gave it 2 coats of burgundy paint and it looks wonderful along with my other 4 adirondack chairs. I'll post the end result as soon as we get back up to the cottage. And here it is. Today July 29th, my neighbor's are throwing one in the garbage because the arm is broken....to be added to the one's up north.

I forgot to add this little children's chair that I also found completely broken in pieces. I spent way too much time sanding it and glueing it together and now it holds my Christmas cactus in the dining room.
