Oh man the last couple of weeks and the weeks to come, have me on the road. Just returned for Seattle
Last weekend I went to over to the auction house to do a quick walk through to see if there was anything interesting I thought I needed. The other reason was to get me a beef and cheese burrito off the food truck that is parked their. The burrito is just a burrito, nothing special but they have a green sauce that is just killer. In addition the price is right!
There wasn’t much of crowd that day so a lot of the items, decent stuff if you needed it were going for $5 bucks. Well this window frame with a metal wire planter on the front came across the block. I was thinking it would look good on the shed in the backyard with some plants in it. So I bid on it and got the planter and a box of other stuff for $15 bucks. The other stuff included 4 vases, 4 humming bird plates and a little stained glass church. It was mostly junk!
But the window frame with the metal planter definitely had some possibilities. I loaded up my goods and started to head home. On the way I stopped by an auto shop/salvage yard to see friend of mine, while there I inquired about a tractor seat that was welded to a stand. I thought it would look good a cleaned up and sitting in my yard. So I got it for nothing and loaded it up.
With me leaving town I tore down what I needed to so that Candy could take the pieces over to a guy that does sandblasting. They came back looking good and are now ready for primer and paint.
Today I was able to get the window frame sanded and glued together. I should be able to finish the sanding in the morning and start on the stain. Hopefully I can get these done before I leave as they are going to come out pretty nice. I share more pictures tomorrow of where I am at.
