It is a good job my father-in-law enjoys working with wood and doing odd jobs for us. We bought an extensive amount of wooden garden furniture years ago but in hindsight it would appear our regime of reproofing the furniture against the inclement weather has not been sufficiently rigorous. We were coming to the conclusion that we would probably have to dispose of a significant portion of the seating.
My father-in-law though is convinced that he can save the furniture. Excellent. I really do not want to throw things away in these environmental aware, financially constrained times.
The appeal of plastic garden furniture is starting to make sense. Shame it looks hideous to me. This might be a bias though as there are not many moulded plastics around that can safely secure my generous proportions.
I am hoping I can also get the old-man to have a go at the garage doors. They have also rotted through somewhat. They have been painted a good few times and had some repairs done. There is though a limit it would seem to how often that works.
Just hope the windows don’t fall out in the near future (there are rather a lot of them).
