The Casualties of Sanding

This past weekend we sanded down a couple of rocking chairs we bought for the front porch. It took us about twice as long as we thought to sand and wipe these chair parts down! Just like the home improvement adage goes, I guess.

Anyways, the sanding took some casualties along the way.
This is NOT staged. My husband actually fell asleep with the dog's bone in his hands in the middle of the back yard. Maybe once these chairs are stained and put together he can fall asleep more properly on the front porch!

Judging by this picture it would be difficult to believe that we have actually lived in our fixer-upper for three years this month!!
