This is part of our 100 Things in 2015 challenge. Here’s the full list.

In our ongoing mission to make our backyard more usable and livable, we decided some furniture was in order. We picked up a kit from Lowe’s, along with a gallon of sealant, and put the whole family to work brushing and putting together. It only took a couple hours of real work (and a day of watching paint dry) before it was done.

We find ourselves using this table for all kinds of things, and spending a lot more time in our backyard than we used to.
