I have never made a rocking chair before, that was until this week. I didn't have any plans to go by, but I did have this old rocking chair that is going in the trash.(It's a wally world special that didn't last even one year!) My chair needed to be weather proof, because I wanted to leave it outside on my deck. So I built this one using water proof glue and treated decking planks. I wanted something that could pretty much be indestructible. What do you think? I like it, but I think the next one I build I will make a few adjustments here and there.
My two small garden plots are coming along. Everything is coming up. I already have some small tomatoes and bell peppers. The lime tree I almost dug up, got the message. It's got some limes on it. I hung up some old cds to keep the birds away. I've got them fooled for now. But just in case I have already brought out the pellet gun. Just so you know the temp is the 60's this morning. A perfect day in south Texas.(at least as perfect as it gets here. Still can't beat that sunset in New Mexico)

That limeade will be good before you know it!
Use cypress for your rocking chair.
That treated lumber causes cancer of the butt when you sit on it too much! Build you a porch swing. At the top where the chains attach hook in a spring from a car hood. Anew dimension of swinging on the porch.
Well, first thing is to find some cypress. I check around, it's good idea. A porch swing is next on the project list. P.S. I'm still on my first tank of gas after 50 miles on the scooter. I'm laughin all the way to the bank or maybe to the gas pump.
