Had my DIY hat on the last couple of days. We had a pair of wooden garden chairs at the place my other half was staying at in the Lakes while she was working down there but they are designed to sit in a corner, an angled "table" fixes between them. Them being at an angle doesn't suit here but missed the table so I've been making a "square" table to fix between them. All the construction work is done, just need to varnish it. She left them with her friends in the Lakes until we could get them up here, they had a totally different concept of "looking after", they'd left them outside sitting under a tree. By the time we got them up here they were in a right mess, varnish was gone, damp, covered in green mould
I had to let them dry out before spending a full day cleaning and sanding each of them then revarnishing. She left a parasol with the same friends, never saw it again, "it got damaged" . . . . hmmm.
