second pile of lumber

What's top of your furniture list, Elke ? :o)

A linen chest for the landing! He has some lovely curly maple in that pile...

Sounds good to me......

Ah...we are all alike...planning a project before the season is right.....woman after my own heart....

Poor Patrick. A man's work is never done.
Just how much furniture do you need.

Well done Patrick! I love it! And that maple linen chest sounds wonderful Elke. Once we've let the man rest. :-)

Toto, bear with me here - we're still making do with the kids' ancient Ikea storage chests (circa 1978), which are now definitely past their best. This house has minimal closet space, we've been here 5 years and I still have stuff in packing boxes. So I'm afraid I'm getting a little desperate. The man is very involved in community projects here, and volunteers for any construction project underway. And he's had to wait for the lumber slab cut 2 - 3 years ago to dry out sufficiently. In the meantime furniture has been made for his workshop, my office, our daughter, our friends... So hopefully this will be my year for linen storage...
