Anwalt Posted August 26, 2022 Share Posted August 26, 2022 Someone in our building left some barrels out for the trash collector. Wifey, who is an artist and works wood (and especially stone sculpture) thinks they are salvageable. Meaning: She would revel in spending hours refurbishing them. We'll probably have to negotiate how many end up "Anwalt Acceptable" and how many are turned into something Horrifyingly Artsy (opposites do attract). They aren't ours until they are, and few things in Puerto Rico are simple. So until they are in our direct physical possession, it's a nothing burger. Will update as needed. Two benefits for me if it works out. First, neat furniture/storage or whatnot. Second, Wifey is happily occupied for a spell and not plotting spousicide. Maybe a third benefit, it might continue her Acceptance of my leetle hobby. 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I think those were in my grandpa's basement and used to store his hard cider that he made each year. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
