Day 355-358: Dining Room Set

We inherited this dining room set from G's parents when we moved into our first real, non-apartment house in 2003. It's done good the past few years, but we've been wanting to build a farmhouse-style table (by which I mean G will do all the building and I'll just give a lot of unsolicited opinions). But we didn't want to get rid of this table since it had been in his family for 34 years. Luckily his sister just moved back to NJ and needed a dining room set -- so she's getting this one, and G's getting a big pile of lumber. Yay!

DESTINATION: Manahawkin.

about us

Kara is a freelance writer whose work has appeared in Glamour, Marie Claire, Penthouse, J-14, Twist, Girls Life, HGTV.com, and on the front pages of Yahoo, MSN, AOL and more. She's also a portrait photographer and mom to two awesome boys. Her favorite ice cream flavor is mint chocolate chip.

George is a mechanical engineer who's developed everything from designer chairs to space shuttle parts. (I think that's right. Kara is writing this while George is asleep.) He loves home renovations, cars, and UFC. He is the father to the same two awesome boys. He sometimes dumps Tabasco in a can of garbanzo beans and calls it lunch.

a few house rules...

...better known as excuses designed to make our lives easier.

1) If we throw something away on Thursday but don't get a chance to post until Friday, it counts.

2) If we get rid of a few things at once, we can post them one at a time over the next few days. It's our stuff and we want to give it a proper send-off. Besides, we can't tell craigslisters, "Can you come tomorrow instead? We're all blogged-out today."

3) Sometimes we'll throw a pile of crap out and count it as five days' worth. Sometimes we'll throw a pile of crap out and call it one day. Both are fine, because we make the rules.

Rules subject to change when we feel like it.
