Beer Garden Bench Re-do

I decided to tackle the Beer Garden Bench project myself...Mr. LC had some things to do, and I just couldn't wait to fix it up any longer. :-)

I may not have done it the "right" way, but I wanted the bench to have a very rustic feel, so "my way" worked for me. :-)



I didn't use primer on the metal legs because I don't really care if they get bumped and some of the original green paint shows through. That'll just give them more character!

The bench cost just $45, and it was exactly what I was looking for- I needed something that would hold at least three booty's. :-)

It came straight from an old beer garden in Germany, and it's got German words carved into it's underside to prove it- too cool!

I'm getting a new rug (which looks just like my old rug- that Mr. LC spilled a gallon of white paint on) to use under the Dining Room table this week- so I'll post photos of the bench in its new home soon!

Hope you can learn something from the video. I'm not making any promises though- it may end up being more for entertainment purposes only. :-)

It was fun to get away from my computer desk, and get sweaty, even if it was only for a couple of hours. (But after editng my final cut- I told Kevin he may not want to leave me alone in the backyard, with power tools and a video camera anymore- ha ha!)

PS...Here is some extra footage I shot, that didn't fit into the video above.
(Youtube doesn't allow videos that are over 10 minutes in length.) >:-(







...and one more, just for fun, that I shot on the 4th of July at my Mom's house.
I ran for my camera when I caught a glimpse of Mr. LC strumming our 3-year old nephews guitar out by the swimming pool.
(He hates it when I videotape him!) :-)
