So call me crazy... but it was creativity that drove
me!I'm fortunate to live in a small, quiet coastal community. While driving around the local marina one day I spotted a life-raft repair store. I stopped by and had a look around. One thing lead to another and I found myself having a nice conversation with the owner. At first I only saw the discarded fiberglass-foam-sandwich life-raft containers as above-ground planter boxes (yes they were free, he practically begged me to take as many as I wanted!).
But then one day I saw something else. What if it were cut a certain way to create a seat? So a few jig saw cuts later I had what has become my favorite seat!
