Well, Friday night, Im home alone, so here's a sad fixer upper post.
My cheap little patio furniture kept blowing over from the back bay breezes. I really like ol skool wrought iron patio furniture so I bought a used set to restore. This shit is heavy and I wont have to worry about it being blown into the canal. Took only three days to sand, prime and paint. I have more money invested in the paint and primer than the cost of the set....
PS. I gave the old set to the hoarder neighbor.... |

You have a nice chunk of property and good job on the furniture. Smart doing this stuff when you're alone....the wifey (of 50 years) is the master of "project creep"... I wish "Chip and Joanne" of HGTV fame would self-immolate in greasy balls of flame - spouse gets that shit in her head and I pay the price.
I spent yesterday hauling 100 bags of pea gravel to place under my renovated deck....nearly killed an old man. Next week I'll start putting fascia around the exposed ends of the composite boards - man that stuff is Soooo much nicer and easier to maintain than wood - especially in the Florida environment. BUT, I had to add add'l joists down the entire pier and under both decks and add'l stair risers to support the stuff. And butyl joint tape over each joist. Ugh ! Then reinstall the SS wire railings....a PITA. |

Very nice job. Get yourself some orange seat cushions and you'll have Miami Dolphins colors. |
