To chair or not to chair,



that is the question. Our neighbor gave us this old chair. The thing had sat in her garage for four years. The night we received it, we discovered a great hoard of spiders. It went to our garage, where I gutted it, ridding it of some very strange little pests... I cleaned it up, stripped it, sanded it, then stripped it again. Staining the thing finally and brought it into The Reynolds Upholstery Shop. We spent a good bit of Tropical Storm Hanna's lock down time working on it. Jake proved to be amazing and did all the grunt work, while I cut out the fabric. We had fun and will post pictures of it once it's complete. Hopefully sooner than too much later.

I wish I was there to help with duck tape and super glue and numerous rides up to street to the hardware store since the employees their know me so well.
