Recover furniture .. who me!

My journey to recovering our dining room chairs!
My Mother-In-Law gave us a dinginroom set. You've seen the kind. Retro 50's soda shop set. Lots of chrome and vinyl. In it's prime, I'm sure it was the cream of the crop. However, manyyears of use and misuse had left it less than appealing. It was covered in green vinly. THe vinyl had torn in some places and in an effort to keep the kids from picking the possibly toxic stuffing out and eating it, I covered the holes with duct tape. Duct tape, the fix it all. Or atleast the fix it until someday.

We'll, my someday had come. It was ll I could take. I was sitting at the computer when our yongest brought me another piece of something from underneath one of the chairs. YUCK. No more tape, I was on a mission.

I set off to buy the material to recover the chairs. I can do this. My first step was to get backup. WIth my sister and mother along for support and their vast knowledge, I set off for an upholstery warehouse in a not so great part of town. Parked the van, locked the doors and entered the warehouse. On the warehouse door the sign read "Please do not leave vlauables in your vehicle". I remembered my chairs and thought this is worth it! We oohed and awwwed over dozens of beautiful fabric before we finally saw a sign directing us out back to the half price warehouse. Finally we found the motherload of deals. What a super thrill for a cheepskate .. um I mean frugal gal like myself. I finally settled on a fabric, made my purchase and headed home.

The first step in my journey had already taken place. Now for the actual work. I had to strip one of the chairs of all exhisting fabric and make a pattern for the others. Doing this was the easy part. I then made one cover as an example. I did not initally like the way I made it, so I revised it as I made each one. I had a total of siz chairs to recover. The bottoms of the chairs were the easiest part. I simply had to pull tight and staple to the underneath. Then I used an old cereal box front and cut it the size of the bottom and stapled to hide the loose fabric and staples.

All in all it only took me a few weeks. I had the privilage of doing this around all my normal daily chores. And my toddler helped too. I learned that I can do just about anything cheaper than I can buy it. I saved money. I have a custom look to my diningroom (with matching curtains and accessories). And I learned that my MIL was not very well appreciated by her family either. Afterall, they did not take care of her recovering job well enough ... I found dirt under one of the chair covers!

Accelerate your learning process with this instructional DVD. The Pocket Hole Solution series features TV personality John Sillaots as he leads you through the various steps needed to build your own custom cabinets providing fast, strong, simple approach to your next woodworking project.

Customer Review: Read your manual instead.

I'm very impressed with my other Kreg products but I feel I didn't learn anything from this DVD I didn't already know from reading the directions provided with my pocket jig.



Customer Review: Don't waste your time if you want to learn about the Kreg sys

If you want to learn techniques on the Kreg system DON'T buy this DVD. It's a video of a guy building a cabinet, not anything on the finer points of using the tool. I should have read the other reviews first. Kreg should pull this product.

At Eureka, we live and breath clean.

Customer Review: It's a dirt bag

These are the OEM bags, the good ones, at about a buck a piece. Say goodbye to grocery store bags. No delay in getting them out either. When I get down to 3 or 4 I'll order again.

Customer Review: Information about packsges and boxes caused confusion.

It's misleading about how many items in a package. At first, I thought each box had 6 bags (or 6 packages?) so I ordered 3 boxes and expected to have 3 x 6 = 18 new bags (enough to use for 1 year). But it turned out that each box had 6 packages, each package had 3 new bags, so I had mistakenly ordered 3 boxes x 6 packages x 3 new bags = 54 new bags!!! May I return some of them for a refund? Thanks.

Hasbro Whac-A-Mole Game

Hasbro Whac-A-Mole Game
Get crackin' on this electronic, talking pop-the-mole-back-into-his-hole game. This wacky game includes four moles with attitude that light up or give sound cues. Whack your mole to earn 100 points to win. The mole leads the action and keeps score in three different games. No reading required to play. One to four players. Requires 3 "AA" batteries (not included).

Customer Review: Broke in first 15 minutes of normal play! Educational Value high!

My 4 year old really has wanted this game, and this age group is the perfect target audience. However, we played easy, hard, and solo modes one time exactly. Then, the "orange" mole stopped working. "Game over", and one very unhappy little girl. They store where I purchased it will replace the game and I hope we have better luck next time, as this game seems to have sporadic problems with the electronics. With regard to educaitonal value, the HARD mode is entirely about listening attentively. Lights don't blink, just make a sound triggering a player to whack. This is an important skill to teach children, and there are few games where this kind of training is well camaflouged as fun.

Customer Review: Great game!

My family loves it - everyone from my nearly 60-year-old mother to my 3 year old nephew. Playing it on the "hard" level can actually be quite challenging and get very competitive. It's good for the kids to learn colors, sounds, and cause-effect.

This is hands down the best stainless steel cleaner out there. Once you have an actual clean stainless surface the Sprayway cleaner put a nice shiny clean finish on that actually resists fingerprints.

If you've resisted undating your appliances because of fingerprints from the family this will make you change your mind - it's that good.
