There will be one more video on it putting on the finishing touches, so stay tuned.

It is a great bench Jim. I am sure you love it. Enjoy it!

It was cooler this morning 12C. Thunderstorms later tonight.

We have some product that comes 20kg or 25kg bags. When it sits around it becomes rock hard. It is still good use. We use a plastic mallet to break it up or just pick the bags up and drop them a few times is all takes.
