This is what the marble top was destined for. :-D
Its almost all pallet wood but its all recycled, what wasn't from pallets came from the firewood pile. )t'

Mrs Al is still looking for some cusions for the bench, we may get my sister in law to make some for us.

Image

We treated ourselves to this little chair, I love the design of it. The back is hinged so it swings over the to of the seat down to the floor to make it into a table.

Image

Still got the coffee table to finish and I will be painting the floor with red floor paint.
All we need now is some sun so we can actualy sit out. )grin2(

Just so you know I have moved this into DIY Projects from Recycled Materials because it has turned into more building than gardening. :oops:

As my facebook freinds will know Mrs Al has asked me to make a bar area so how could I refuse.
This is todays work, cost so far for the bar, £0.00 :-D
I found the roof tiles in the undergrowth at the allotment last year and they had been there for years apparently. The timber came from stud walling in a shop in Durham last year. It was a case of being in the right place at the right time I got four trailer loads but it was on the condition that I took ALL the wood. What a result, some for the stove and some in storage for future projects like this. )t'
