Oh, Marion, what a magnificent table and yes, I believe it will not be rocked by earthquakes or humans. I loved the look of pride on DH's face. "I made this" it seems to say. A very sturdy table top and one that will serve your family well. But I guess you can't move it, right...lol.
The expression on the face is actually saying..."So far so good... now, how the @#$$% are we going to get this through the gateway..." We rolled it on the metal pipes.. The other photo shows him rushing off for an ice pack for the pulled muscles..For obvious reasons I have omitted the photo of him sitting on it (the ice) and it melting and making a puddle on the ground underneath his chair..!!?? Marion (who has taken up far too much space on the BB this week)
Our house is made of Oamaru Stone, cut from the hillside near a coastal area south of here. The blocks for the garden are huge and are just placed on top of each other. The earthquakes and over 10,000 after-shocks, have failed to move any of them. The house blocks had to have a silicone coating to prevent them discolouring, but we were happy for the garden ones to "weather" ! Fran...the next project has been put on "hold" !!
Ice is the way to go. I used to apply heat and later learned that although heat feels good when applied it just increases inlammation. Ice is recommended for the first three days.
Marion you are so lucky to still have your fixer and maker. Take good care of him. You'll miss him when he's gone. We women are tougher and outlive those guys. Jane
I do try my best Jane !! I know that our "days are numbered" and we won't always have each other, or this nice rural property to live on. Makes it a special time and we try to make the most of it.

I agree with Rosey, Marion: the table looks magnificent. Well done to Russell! What is he thinking of making next!?
ReplyDeleteThe table looks great. Is the wall in the background made of concrete blocks? It looks sturdy also. Your yard is lovely.

ouch! Hope he isn't in too much pain and it's 'only' pulled muscles. I know how painful they can be.....
