Done with coffee table and end tables

Finished and in place.  I like them alot and they are smaller so it gave us some more room in our Living Room.

Denny just finished a chime.  Made out of a 25 gal. propane tank.  The winds have to kick up pretty good to make it ring but it is a very deep "Dong".

He got it hung up with the tractor

I like ...

Up date on round table and chairs...

Spoke with Terry in Redmond about the tables and chair find on the Marketplace.  Based on his opinion (he is an antique appraiser) he feels this is an original table and chairs; dating back to early 1900's.  Likely 1920 to 1930's.  I knew it was older than 1980's!  I am going to sand it down and restain it to it's original.  Regarding the chairs, I think I'll throw them up on the marketplace for cheap and see what happens.  Terry even said that the chairs are difficult to restore and would likely not be worth the effort.  They are in pretty bad shape.  I am stoked about this project and can only picture many families sitting around this table for many years.  I find it kind of sad when a piece gets lost though.

Terry did say that these tables are very difficult to find.   The value is not what I expected $100 - $150.  I paid $30 for the set so I'm ahead of the game already.

Very difficult to find, Terry said

New Project and New Garage Door

I decided to chalk paint my first nice coffee table and end tables.  They are drying and once that is done, I will apply wax.  Then.....they will come back into our house after being in Dennis' shop for many years.

I think they turned out lovely.

Check out our new garage door.  The existing was the original; nearly 38 years old.  I CANNOT believe how quite it is and it should be warmer in the garage itself because of the insulation and tight seals.

Love it!

Amazing how much light gets in the garage with the windows

Marketplace find with four chairs

Table appears old but needing to date it with some help

Table and chairs : $30

Found some numbers on the chairs

Not sure how helpful they will be

November 1, 2019

October just left and here we are into November.  We have had a LOVELY Indian summer going into fall.  In my opinion, we are no into winter yet.  Freezing nights but the days are fantastic.  Falling back an hour was not too bad.

Dennis has been finishing some projects.  The newest one is our Hot Water Heater and I am very excited to see what happens with our electric bill.  It is a hybrd and says it should pay for itself in two years.  That means, I should see a significant drop in our power bill. 

He almost has finished trimming out all the closets...just the downstairs bedrooms left.  Going through our closets and getting rid of things that others could use.  Made a trip to the dump and hauled away the old tanks and other things that we have no use for.  It is a good feeling to clean out and keep lean.  Believe me.

I have been antsy to do a project but can't come up with one.  The weather has been so nice.

Stay tuned.....
