Today I had been tasked by Amy to take delivery of a new dining table and bench from Freeman's. Not only was I to take delivery of it, I was expected to assemble it as well. So helped by my not so able apprentice Cerys, we patiently awaited it.
Then it arrived and the guys brought it in and left it with us. All contained within four large cardboard boxes

I then taught Cerys that the thing we had to do was unpack everything, check it was all there and remove all of the packaging before starting to build. She was an avid listener and said 'that's not what Daddy does, he leaves all the rubbish around him when he builds it'
So after unpacking everything we duly removed all of the packaging, with a brief interlude for her to pop a lot of bubble wrap and set about building it up.

There is a story behind this furniture and it is that many years ago the Canadians shipped boatloads of Elm to China for use in the building trade. The Elm was used to make doors for houses and now that the houses are being demolished to make way for new, modern buildings, the doors are being re-cycled. One Australian company has sourced a lot of these doors and is turning them into household furniture for sale in Australia, complete with the original imperfections from their use as doors. This is what Amy and Justin have chosen for their new dining table
Pretty soon the table was completed, now for the bench
The bench was even faster so we were completed in double quick time. Cerys then decided to be the first to use it and ate her lunch on it, sitting on the bench.
That was it, work completed for the day.
