Refurbishing BBQ table - Part 4

 Sanding and painting the table and benches then finish with a lick of paint.

Sanding and sanding...

Bailey outdoor enclosure-

This animal cage along with many 'used' modified gazebos (into cat runs) was purchased something like 15 years ago. I'm sketching some ideas on paper to use that as the base for a cat play enclosure.

This cage was mainly used mainly by Chester - see next photo.

Refurbishing BBQ table - Part 3

 Not able to really get out the last few days but did manage late yesterday when the cloud cover moved on and the sun came out to fill in holes with homemade putty. Sawdust mixed with watered down PVC glue. I should be able to sand down this afternoon.

Glad I managed to do this late yesterday afternoon so I can sand down this afternoon.

Bailey cat tower - update

 After a slow start he is playing on his his cat tower more often and today even using it for napping.

Refurbishing BBQ table - Part 2

 Screwed on that last board at the back of the table and braced the legs.

With the last board screwed down there's bit of bracing sticking out; that was planned because I'll run some timber along the back to stop stuff falling of the back edge of the table.

Refurbishing BBQ table - Part 1

 I made this BBQ table (with bench seats) from left over hardwood flooring after the house was built - 50 years ago!

Anyway... did I say refurbish it's actually a tear down and salvage what I can.

This photo was taken in 2019 when Al's Workshop was in full swing and I used the table mainly for spray painting. It was starting to rot so I covered the thing with a tarp.
