Weekend Wind-Down #166

Missy's parents drove down from Pittsburgh last week to hang out with us and help us with some projects. Along with helping us with some issues with our house (bringing our boiler up to code, cutting up a huge branch that fell in our backyard, etc.), they also helped us build a COUNTER for our new business venture, MINI GALLERY. Wanting to use up the left over PEGBOARD we had from Mini Gallery, I drew up a quick sketch of an idea for the counter. Missy's dad, John, took one look at the sketch and said, "Yeah, I can make that"...

The counter was built on our back porch, with the help of a PORTABLE TABLE SAW they brought all the way down from Pennsylvania. As soon as the counter was done, we packed it into the back of Missy's Yaris (THE BEAST) and hauled it out to the gallery...PERFECT!
