Hello @wefsja and welcome to 4REarth
Please feel free to introduce yourself here

I've updated the sites php so please feel free to report any errors

We've moved to a new host and to our own server so hopefully there won't be anymore 503 errors and crap....

Sorry for all of the downtime and hiccups....but that hopefully (fingers crossed) won't happen anymore
as well as the page load time shouldn't be an issue anymore either...

"In deciding what it should become, I had many ideas from turning it round and round and upside down. However, the most logical idea for me is a broken chair repurposed shelf. This is where it gets oh-so-fun for me because I get to dig into my stash and create. First, here are a few things I pulled out to play with…"

"You’re looking at some barn wood from our kitchen remodel, two broken rake handles (yes I saved them. ahem), a couple of turnings from vintage bunk beds, and a few old hooks left from our bathroom remodel.

Consequently, after digging around some more, I found some pieces of a set of antique legs that I had remnant from making this crate ottoman.

All these pieces came into play as my idea began to come to fruition. I used the broken rakes for shelf support. In addition, I used them to plug the holes that were left from the previous life.

Last, here is what that old broken rocking chair looks like now."
