Weekend project

When we first saw our house, we were in love with the location and interior of it.  We didn't realize when we moved in that there would be so many hidden gems.  We found some great old bricks that we used to create a flower bed...

and border for our flag pole: 

When we expanded our chicken coup to include more of the building we were using, we came across some old doors.  So, we decided to put them on Craigslist.  Well, procrastination has its benefits. They never got posted on the site.  As luck would have it, we decided that we needed something for our deck so we embarked on a journey to make something out of the old doors.  What follows is our adventure in furniture design.  

First step: sand off the flaking paint (wearing masks of course!)

Help from the youngest members of the household.

 

Let the assembly begin!

Careful

Hmmm...is it going to work?

 

Taking a break
