Lawn Chairs - Doin' it Right

It seems that most of what I've been writing about lately are just checking in posts with where our spending is at, and it's usually not in a good place these days.  We are actually doing somethings right - so I'm going to try to start sharing some of that too.

The weekend before last, for example, instead of going out and buying new lawn chairs I fixed the two of ours that had torn so the arm rests weren't held up anymore




I spent about $5 at Walmart for heavy duty thread and a needle and spent a couple of hours patching the four armrests - was actually pretty pleased that they all worked out!
