Farmhouse

Before I go any further I should warn you that sometimes my grammar and sentence structure is a little awkward.  I think it’s because when I grew I learned to speak both English and French at the same time. I went to English school but somewhere along the way learned how to read and write in French.  Needless to say I am sometimes unsure where to put the commas, etc.  Sorry.

I sometimes think the farmhouse is coming along to slow.  I love making things for the inside of the house while waiting for the wood to arrive.  The wood has arrived and I haven't done anything to the house this week.  I made my two brothers beds.  I do not have a lot of before pictures (well you know why).

One bed was a little easier to make because I could make it out of wood even though it was metal.  The other was a metal bed.  I made that one from styrene tubes.  I used the toaster to heat the styrene tubes.  It actually worked quite well except that I did set the smoke detector off.  I am pleased with the final product.

Next I decided to work on some of the chairs for the kitchen.  We had a lot of chairs because we were a total of nine people in my family.  Some of the chairs were blue.  I remember those vividly.  I found some chairs that were the right style.  I did take a few pictures as I worked.  I made one of the chairs into a rocking chair.  Doesn’t every farmhouse kitchen have a rocking chair?

I am very pleased with these chairs, they are exactly like the ones we had growing up.
