Crazy Recycle Lady

That's how I feel.
Like the crazy recycle lady.
The tiki bar is slowly taking shape...of course the lumber is recycled.
I don't know the story of the support posts or the rafters, I bought them from somebody else who had a lot of used lumber they needed a home for.
But the 2x12's that we used for the bar top...this is the third time I've built something out of the same boards, and I'm pretty sure this is where they'll stay.
It looks unusual, maybe a little goofy...
Goofy works for me.
Next step is sanding and sealing...so I can do some sitting and sipping!

Have a great weekend, be sure to enjoy your views ;)

PBS...or Paperbackswap.com!



OK...so maybe everybody else knows about this and I'm the last girl to the party but this is making me happy. Paperbackswap.com is my new favorite site. Post a book, mail a book, get a book...no fees, just the price of postage to mail off the book - usually a little over two bucks. What a groovy way to recycle books.
I love books, always have...and I buy books, it's one of my guilty pleasures. I need to have at least two books in my "waiting to be read" stash. It's the law, if there aren't any "books in waiting" this farmgirl gets cranky. I'm sure you're thinking "hey girl, ever heard of the library?", yup... I use the library too ;)
I read more in the summer than I do in the winter. So I'm posting like crazy...getting ready for summer. At this rate I'll have a giant stash of books here at the farm, and more at the cabin! We read like crazy at the cabin, no TV and no computers there...it's great.

So far I've posted about 100 books, sent out over twenty, and have two in the stash.
I wish I had known about this years ago.
