New Chairs

Back when we still lived in PA, we bought two wooden Adirondack chairs at a yard sale. We loved them, but over time they started falling apart. This spring, Dan took the worst of the two apart and made a pattern out of it.

The beginning of July, he and Danny got the wood to start on new ones. I think July 4th, they started on the first chair.

Cutting....

gluing....

fastening with screws....

And then life got busy and the project sat for a couple weeks.

Dan had off work on Friday {He has Friday's off when he has to work in the prison on Sundays}

So this was the perfect day to finish the project!! :)

Making pre-drilled holes...

Fastening on the arms.....

Pre-drilling the back pieces....

It's taking shape!!! :)

They make a great team!

Fastening the back pieces...

And this is the finished project.....unless I decide to stain or paint them! :)

What would you recommend??

I like it!! :)

Carrying the finished product to the front porch.

 I didn't take a picture of it on the porch because our porch is SO messy right now...it's rather embarrassing. That is one of my goals for this week....it needs a makeover in a BAD way!!

Maybe I'll try to take before and after pics when I work at it! :) I gotta be real, ya know?? ;)

Have a great week!!
