Picnic Table

We had out-grown our "pallet table" and I have always wanted to build a picnic table for some reason. I found an old Redwood picnic table top at my favorite place, Urban Ore and my neighbor had some old Redwood fence posts. I belt sanded off all the red paint and assembled the table using tools borrowed from the Oakland Tool Lending Library. A few coats of water proofing and we have a nice table to seat six. Come over for brunch sometime!

Underneath shows what the top looked like before. I left the red paint on the bottom.

Kitchen paint job

We decided that we needed some color in our kitchen eating nook. Phase one was to paint the panels of the kitchen door and the door to our spice cabinet. We took off all the hardware and polished them down to the bare metal. Looks better than white. See what it looked like before.
