Fricken Furniture !#$%?

The hubbub is not about the f-bomb in my world. (See the video here.)

It's about the barrel furniture I spied on craig's list last year:

The price was $400 for the entire set. The seller was from Oakdale, MN.

And no--I did not buy it. But was highly amused by it.

Grill Man

What do you do when you don't have a grill for your fire pit?

Have Mike and Sally make one. Sally did all of the welding.

The grill marks are round!

1963 was a very good year.

Even priced at a $1.95, I couldn't pull the trigger.

A quick sneaky photo in the store, and I'm good to go.

Fair Finds

Judy's first of course.

Sally's Hot Man

This early layout (about 8 feet across)
edited down became this:
The eyes are speakers (the backs of them are big magnets). The nose is a cable from Mike's camper. "That camper had every accessory on it from the Kmart automotive aisle!".

Menaghmen it!

How my brother stores his stuff:

Sue's Bookshelves

Sue finished her basement a few years ago. Her husband created these built-in bookshelves using the area between the studs. Trim was added to cover the 2x4s and then it was painted. Deeper books in the bottom row steal room from the area behind the shelves.
