Joono it did happen here in the country, that's what started those deadly fires a couple of years ago on that very hot and windy day.. The lnes were owned by a Singaporian company in that case

Stringers, I'm in a cranky mood 😄

You see, I know this recovering alcoholic who is struggling to make ends meet. He does woodwork for a hobby, to keep his mind off the grog. Anyway, he talks and talks about his woodwork and mentioned how he wished people would buy it from him.

So I asked him to build me a lamp table, 45 cm square, for $100.00.

Today he brought it to my house, criez!!!

It's a metre long, about a metre high and made from ugly plywood...with lumps of filler in old nail holes...and different coloured legs...and UGLY

And $150.00

Lol!

It's so big and ugly and heavy he brought a friend to help him carry it inside.

My next problem is working out how to dispose of it without offending him. He'll see it if I chuck it on the verge haha

It's probably supposed to look futuristic recycled abstract.  

 

The perfect place for an antique linen tablecloth.

It gave me a splinter rofl! It's just sooooo bad, the undersides of the ugly plywood aren't finished property and there are chunks hanging off. My foot went underneath and came out with a scratchy splinter, ugh.

But I do love the idea of giving it to my son haha!

I'll take a pic later and show you. Be warned, it might make you cry too.

Do you have a veranda?  You could put it out there and put pot plants on it.
