This is probably my favorite table ever, and I've been the owner of it for at least 30 years. Long story short: at university I had a friend who got the table from his brother, but my friend didn't have an apartment big enough for it (2m by 0.8m, like a bed) and traded it for a smaller table that I owned. It's a very sturdy table and you could in fact sleep on it (no, I haven't tried). The table is probably 40-50 years old and have been used by at least two families ... with kids, you might understand why it wasn't pretty. It wasn't really bad, but you could clearly see that nothing had been done to it in a very long time (I haven't done anything to while I owned it). Anyway, I've spent the last few days "renovating" it ,and now it almost looks new. I need to put on a few layers of oil and then I hope it lasts for at least another 30 years.
Sigh, sometimes I get so frustrated with people. I can't really understand why people do this, why do they throw things like this in the forest?? It's not that much work to drive into the recycling station and leave it there. But no, "let's just throw away things where we are right now ... don't think about what happens after we leave"
This morning I had some plans for the day ... but they didn't include driving around scaffolding stuff. I had completely different plans but they can wait until tomorrow.
