Outside Bench Redo

Another project finished! I bought a bench from our neighbor for $8 at a yard sale and gave it a face-lift. It needed a paint job and some tightening.

I disassembled it, sanded the wood slats, spray painted the arms, primed and painted the slats, and then reassembled it. Jackson even helped his daddy tighten the nuts and bolts!

The bench doesn't even rock back and forth anymore, thanks to Jackson and Ryan! This is a nice place for us to sit off of the driveway to watch the boys ride their bikes and play.
