Bench #2

Last year I got some used fence panels from someone on Freecycle, with the idea that I would use them to make some weathered benches for our gardens. This is the second bench, and I really like it. This is the last of the fence panels, and I have just a few extra slats left. So, I am researching the specifications to build nesting shelters for some of the birds that inhabit our yard. It is a good feeling to create from items that would otherwise be in the landfill!
