Today we rebuilt some backyard playground equipment using redwood. Holy cow, redwood is expensive! Five 2x4x8’s were $65.00 and a 2x6x10 cost $18.00. We also repaired some furniture, a dresser and book shelf. I love building, repairing and remodeling furniture. These pieces were not difficult but fun anyway. The payment for this work is a general international table saw. Looks like a great tool to have. Finally I can cut a full sheet of plywood alone without killing myself trying to hold the plywood straight and level. Can’t wait to use it.
