Challenge.

The Redhead set me a challenge. Our old dilapidated garden seat had seen better times and she was damned if she was paying 59 euro for a new one. "Do something about it!" she said.
I half heartedly began sanding it down before I realised it was a waste of time. The timber was rotten. I had kept the old mahogany window shelves when we replaced the windows in Feb. I decided to recycle them. Out with the power tools. I ended up really enjoying myself and was totally engrossed for the day.
Labour....... 1 day.
Cost........... Zero.
Result........ She's chuffed.
