Here's what I did instead of racing this weekend... - Subaru Enthusiasts Car Club of the Sierras

...picnic table FTW!

It's 8'x3', unfinished redwood. Eventually we'll sand it and at least seal it, if not stain it darker red.

I started with a Google Sketchup drawing. Hit up Lowe's drive thru for about $150 in redwood. The build took about 4 hours. Now, it's picnic time!

Kevin M · 2007-05-27, 06:54 PM

That's pretty sweet dude! Nice job!

MattR · 2007-05-27, 07:06 PM

Sweet!

Plans for mods?

Dean · 2007-05-27, 07:28 PM

Actually, since he built the whole frame from scratch, that's Modified.

Benches = splinter butt according to Lisa. So we'll just stick w/ the 6 plastic chairs.

van · 2007-05-27, 09:12 PM

nice setup

Nick Koan · 2007-05-27, 09:26 PM

Benches plus a lot of lacquer (and lots of continuous care) prevents splinter butt, but if Lisa doesn't like them there is really no point in worrying about it.

The table looks nice though. So, whens the inaugural BBQ?

wrxkidid · 2007-05-27, 09:40 PM

probably the same time as your house warming party..

BOO · 2007-05-27, 11:19 PM

Thompson's water seal FTW!!

tysonK · 2007-05-28, 08:19 PM

scott that table was nice, the sap got me a couple times.

sperry · 2007-05-29, 09:25 AM

Yeah, the hot sun in the day made the sap leak a bit out of the raw wood. I'm gonna let it dry out a little more, then get around to sanding it then staining/sealing it. You just gotta watch your arms and legs for the meantime.

AtomicLabMonkey · 2007-05-29, 10:07 AM

Oooh, can I play? I spent the last week and all weekend laying a pea gravel patio behind our house. Leveling dirt.. trenching & laying borders.. shoveling, moving & spreading base material.. spraying down & tamping.. shoveling, moving & spreading pea gravel.. and it's still not finished. Goddammit.

AtomicLabMonkey · 2007-05-29, 06:05 PM

Some of the neighbor kids came over to help for a while.. and do I look like I've been in North Cackalacky too long?

Sure they aren't your kids/sisters/nieces? That would be appropriate to your outfit as well.

tysonK · 2007-05-29, 06:23 PM

look how many yard cars you could fit in the front yard area!

not to mention the driveway.

I'm pretty sure I remember seeing Austin wearing those shorts at the gym circa 1998.
