Fonaplats Flower Box Restoration Thread
-
2018-04-19 at 12:11 AM UTC5 years or so ago I was making flower boxes.
I made one (the first one) for my mom and it was really nice.
I used inferior hardware though and one day a chipmunk was in it and my dog jumped in to kll the rodent and demolished the box.
I have left it sitting outside for 5 years without any care to try any prevent it from getting weathered or damaged more.
This is the box the day I finished it.
This is the box today.
I put it in my garage and have swept the dirt out and tried removing some nails so I can replace them with screws.
I numbered all the peices so I know how to get them back together.
Now it has gotten cold and dark here.
I will have to finish it later.
I hate being manic/depressive. Who knows when or if I will actually get it done. I would like to finish it. -

Don't bother with the crappy flowerbox. Throw it away or burn it. You must be able to grow orchids or other interesting plants there. -
