OK, this is getting out of hand

Since my last post, I have noticed more chairs placed out on the front lawns of nearby homes. Here are a few examples:
















Notice extra stuff for this chair. This alien must be important:
















I am trying to discern if the color of the chairs have meaning. Does white represent a plebeian class, while colored chairs are those of patricians?





















This must be a gathering place for the aliens as they plot and plan to take over the Earth:














And this is clear evidence that the aliens have reproduced, possible during their stay on earth:















So, gentle reader, what am I to do? Do I contact DHS and see what they can do, or do I knock on the door of one of these alien homes and confront them? I have see some of the "people" who populate the homes with these chairs and they look like any other human, but I saw Cocoon, I know that aliens can morph into pretty much any form they desire.

I think that it will be best if I continue to monitor the situation. They all seem so normal, but there must be something insidious about these chairs and what they represent. I will keep all of you posted as this develops...

Did I miss the memo?

There has been a somewhat disturbing trend happening here in the homes near the place we call home: Chairs. Yep, chairs. In front yards. And more often than note, they are white Adirondack chairs. This is a recent phenomenon as these chairs were not there last year. Along one street near our home there are 8 houses with white Adirondack chairs sitting in their front yards. Did I miss the memo that you are supposed to put white Adirondack chairs in your front yard?

I have another theory about the chairs: Alien life forms have visited out planet and they are hiding in plain site disguised as our friends and neighbors. These aliens identify themselves to each other by putting white Adirondack chairs in the front yards of the homes they have invaded.

Table & Chairs

The last major task of our kitchen remodeling project is about to be finished. Last week I started to stain the pedestal and table top for the "pub table" we purchased at Wood Source two weeks ago. Staining the table top took longer than I had planned, as it took the stain slowly. The top is adler wood, which is a soft wood from Canada. The project also took longer because I had to stain and clear-coat the top and bottom of the table top. Last night I applied the last coat of polyurethane to the table top and this morning I rubbed it down with a little 000 steel wool and I am happy to report that it is done. I brought the pedestal and top upstairs from the basement this morning and using eight wood screws, the table is ready for use.





As for the chairs, I started staining them on Thursday night. The chairs are made of parawood, which is a very dense wood from southeast Asia. The are a softer hue than the table, as parawood is so dense that it does not absorb stain as readily as adler. I was able to apply three coats of stain to the chairs, and I figured that they would not get much darker. This morning, the chairs were dry and I started to apply clear polyurethane to them. I have been able to apply tow coats so far today and I am hoping to get on one more coat before the end of today. Regardless, the chairs will be ready to join the table no later than tomorrow.
