I’m sure the weight is an anomaly – a combination of really good water intake and working outside. My big accomplishment for yesterday was to pull all the 2X4s that we’d purchased to use with the picnic table, two benches, and 3rd bench kit we got for Christmas. It’s a really neat concept – the kit comes with the legs/frame pieces, plus screws. You add your own 2X4s, cut to the length that you want the finished product to be. I’m generally not very handy, but this, I can accomplish. We actually went and got the wood back in May or June, and then promptly left it in the garage while we had multiple major events and activities plus travel. Due to what wood we needed, and what was available, we were easily able to have the home improvement store cut all the pieces to length for us, so that part’s been done since we bought the wood.
Part of the challenge was sorting out the pieces and remembering which lengths were for which project. Last night, I took all the wood, sorted it by size, figured out which pieces were for which project, and removed the stickers and staples, etc. And then I stained the first half of the wood pieces (the ones required to build the standalone bench + 4 other pieces) and set them out to dry. It took about 3 hours to stain the first half of the wood. The kids mostly played outside.
