Project Information

my bench was looking really nasty sitting under the oak tree, my special need son and i like to sit on it waiting for the bus, then it took a turn for the worst, so i dismantled it completely. sanded the wrought iron part and got all the old paint off, and then re painted it with some black rustolium, i ripped some 1×4 to fit the slots, sanded and trimmed to fit, i then put everything together, screwed the boards on from underneath so not to see the screws, applied a clear cost of rustolium to weather proof it and put it back under the tree for my lil man and me to wait on his bus.
