Adirondack Chairs - Facelift

My sister and brother-in-law had a couple of Adirondack chairs that were in desperate need of repair. I took them apart and sanded each piece individually.  What a difference!

Hot Tub Privacy

Chrissy and Jason needed some added privacy while hanging out in their backyard gazebo and soaking in their hot tub.  They wanted something to blend in with their raised deck.  So Franco, Jason's dad, and Jason helped me build and install a privacy screen in front of their hot tub.  It's 7' high, and runs the width of the hot tub.  This gives them just what they needed.

Jason also wanted a little privacy when barbecuing.  We added a privacy screen secured to the railing in front of their BBQ.

Sheila, Jason's mom was going to put in some vines to grow up the privacy screens.  Great idea!

Mission accomplished!

Horse Grooming Tote

I made this grooming tote from a 1" x 10" x 8' knotty pine board.  It measures 15"H x 15"L x 9 3/4"W.

I finished it with two coats of Varathane Premium Diamond Wood finish to enhance the natural beauty of the wood and protect it from scratches and stains.

Laundry Room Renovation

Here's a small renovation to my neighbor's laundry room.  I installed a "Smartcore Ultra" vinyl plank floor in part of the laundry room and closet.  The closet was also redone with new hardware and fresh paint.  New baseboards and quarter-round finished the space nicely.

I also built a laundry table/storage shelf between the washer and dryer.
