While cleaning out the old fish/pet shop, which is attached to our garage, I found so many old tools, old containers which were used to hold pet food, and other old odds and ends. It was really fun to see all the old supplies in it with my grandmother's handwriting written on them.
While cleaning, I came across 2 boxes labeled "bench" and being the curious individual that I am, I decided to open the box and put the object together. It was a fun little project and even sentimental because I know at some point my grandmother had the idea of putting this together.
The bench turned out rather nice although while putting it together (nothing was open yet not even the bag of bolts, nuts, and screws) there was one piece missing, and the directions were for a similar but obviously different bench (it gave the right directions only extra steps and parts that were not included in the version we put together).
As I said it is a nice little bench, it was scary to sit on at first, worried it would crack due to old age. Now the problem is....where do I put it, so many choices.

Ooh, I'm jealous. I love going through old stuff.
And you know Grandpa totally bought that bench at Odd Lots.
Ya but let me think it was purchased for something special like and aniversity present or grama's birthday, you know my little own fairytale story. And going through old stuff is great you should so come down/over/down and over sometime to go through some of the stuff in there it is amazing to see what all is in there.
