This Summer Paul spent some time over at my parent's house helping my dad tear down his old deck and build a new one. The wood from the old deck was still in good shape, so we hauled it to our house. For years I have been wanting a "bigger and better" outdoor table, with more seating. Paul got his creative juices flowing and came up with a great design plan.
He also included any kids that were interested in the building process. He is so much more patient when they help with projects than I am.
Grayson really likes power tools!
Paul originally built a very simple table, but then got an idea for some fancier benches. Once the benches were done it was obvious that they really outshone the table, so Paul took apart the table and built one to match the beauty of the benches.
One of the great things about this project was that it cost very little. The wood was free, we (and by we I mean Paul) just had to clean it up. So all we had to buy was a box of screws and I board, about $50 total.
And it turned out SO amazing! It's even better than what I was imagining!
We have been enjoying many nice Summer meals on it!
