Furniture shopping

Awhile back I spotted a listing for a teak dining room set on Kijiji. It seemed like the style and colour I was looking for and it was reasonably priced, so I sent Ian and Sam off to check it out while I was at work.

The set was is worse shape than the photos suggested. In fact, about ten seconds after the money changed hands, the table pretty much fell apart. Luckily I know so many handy people who can help us re-build and reinforce the table. The whole set could use some refinishing too. Sigh. More hard work. So satisfying but seemingly never ending.
