Since we were out, Marlon and I went to drop off our old kitchen sink faucet at Reuse Hawaii. If you haven't been there, it is a great place to grab some lumber and there are some hidden gems that come through there as people bring household items that can be "Re-used". Well, just as I was making our faucet donation, there were several teak chairs that caught my eye. I asked La if she like them and she said yes. The only thing is most of them needed a little more TLC than I had time for. However, there was one that was in relatively good condition... and it came home with us. So there went my afternoon - sanding with 60, 100, 120 and 220, then cleaning this new chair and the big bench so I could oil both.
As you can see, the van was behind the sanding effort - so then I had to wash and dry the van.
Well - with Noe's help I did get both pieces cleaned and oiled!!! I'll probably clean and oil the table and the two folding chairs that are downstairs tomorrow - then I'll do the other two chairs and the small table in the upstairs lanai next weekend. Now that we're finally planting roots and these teak pieces are in a subtropical environment, it is actually pretty fun to clean them and give them an annual oiling. Hopefully that will keep them strong and in good condition for years to come!
