Well, a couple weeks ago, a guy I work with brought his wife out for the 1st time. When we gave her a brief tour of the homestead, she commented on how much she liked the hutch I built for Lori. Found out from my buddy a few days later, how much she really liked it, and wished she had one.

So, he asked me if I'd help him build one for her for a Christmas present this year. So, yesterday, I told him to come out, and we'll whip one out. He's not a "builder", so he kinda of just handed me some stuff, and directed what he thought she'd like, but in any event, we got 'er done in about 5 hours. ;D

I need to start making more of these and putting them on the market

It is quite gratifying to take a pile of 100 year old barn wood setting in a pile in someone's backyard, rotting, and turn it into something nice

	The Size of your Success can be Measured by the Strength of your Desire !!! There is a difference between INTEREST and COMMITMENT. When you are INTERESTED in something you do it only when it is CONVIENIENT. When you are COMMITED to something you ACCEPT NO EXCUSES and PRODUCE ONLY RESULTS. I will meet you on your Turf...But it will be on My TERMS!!!

She'll probably put antique porcelin rabbits on the shelves

These rustic hutches, shelves and furniture pieces are the big thing around here. Antique stores can't keep the on their floor.
I just like making rustic stuff out of old barn wood, rather than see it rot.
