They use outdoor plumbing cement/glue to put it together and then they sell it at crafts shows.

I'm so glad we did. I'm down to a butler's tray table and some crystal. I need to go ahead and take care of that. <br /><br />Poodles are most definitely easier than kids, and cheaper, too.

We adopted two boys, infants, two years apart. So now I'm a grandma and take care of my baby granddaughter 3 days/week. The first week I was absolutely terrified I'd do something wrong and stupid. It has been nearly 30 years since I cared for an infant.

I don't know--I think that would creep me out. ANYWAY--so glad you've found a place that is easily accessible to get rid of the big stuff. E-Bay is okay, but how do you box up an 1857 wood stove?

She would have been 88 years of age. She past away November 7th, 2013. My granddaughter sets a plate on their table for grandma Susie on her birthday. How wonderful. <br />Have a great Sunday Jean.
