2014-07-03 - Thursday - Aftermath
After assembling a large group of the porch furniture it was time to take the excess cardboard to the recycling center. It turned out to be quite a load. Just think, I still have a serving cart and a gas grill to put together. Sounds like another trip.

2014-06-28 - Saturday - Furniture
Saturday I tackled the large box of furniture that has been patiently waiting in the garage. It was a HUGE box which contained a couch, two chairs, and a coffee table. Of course, the couch and table had to be assembled... The assembly was a bit frustrating but everything worked with a bit of patience and planning.
The chairs are swivel/gliders and have a really ingenious mechanism under them to accomplish this feat. They're also very comfortable.
I ended up working on the couch in the garage during the hottest part of a very humid day so when it was time to assemble the coffee table I brought it into the porch. I closed the windows, opened the sliding door into the air conditioned den and turned on the ceiling fans. I was pleased to find out that the porch holds the cooler air from the house very nicely. It was actually pleasant out there and I took advantage of it to assemble another table.
The first thing we bought for the porch was a large table and six chairs at BJ's Wholesale Club. I'll have to get a photo of that set on here soon. While we were there we also purchased a side table and utility cart that both matched the main table. I assembled the side table on Saturday which leaves only the cart left to do.
