Building the Window Seat / Storage

At the start of the weekend I (Jennifer) always say, I sure would like to rest at some point this weekend. I really need to stop saying that. haha. This weekend we busted out the frame for the window seat that will double as some much needed storage. Keil, as usual, was amazing at taking my colorful drawing and turning it into a strong, sturdy, and beautiful piece. We had a few parts that were rocky, but we got past those and we got the frame up. All we need to do now is get the tongue-and-groove cedar front put on and the hinges and lid on. Here is how far we got today and yesterday.

Keil sanding in the rain.

Bear, pretty upset about us taking her box that she used to sleep on and look out the window.

The first set of wood we bought was Made in Texas!!

Keil and the guy at Home Depot cutting the tops.

Start of new and improved seat with a new improved version of the intake air vent box.

Moving right along. Keil had this great idea of (what I call) "log cabining" the ends together and then putting in screws.

Lesson learned... don't leave the vent cover off or Fergie will try to go down the hole and into the vent system.

Frame all done.

Curtains fit nicely over the new seat.
