This recent discovery at Struan Farm reminded me of my late father-in-law, Maurie. He was consistent to say the least. Also quite creative about recycling and repurposing various materials he was able to acquire for free around the district.
Remember my bright blue bench?
Well, I've recently noticed that two other benches around the place are the same in design and construction:
Maurie built these, as John recalls from wood recycled from shipping crates from motorcycles shipped from Japan to New Zealand. The local garage put the wood out for anyone who wanted it, and the ever opportunistic Maurie picked it up for projects around Struan Farm.
I haven't decided as yet if they will also be painted bright blue, but they're both definitely getting a rehab!
