I can use that!

 I 'm that kind of person, The kind that spots a table on your porch and asks what you are planning on doing with that.  Yep, that is me. That is how I scored this lovely number.

During a quick conversation with my neighbor, I noticed a drop leaf table out of the corner of my eye.  And of course I had to ask why it was sitting out there?  She tells me there is a little water damage and she was getting rid of it.

Here is where my brain started racing...
No, I don't need a table
No, I don't have room to store it in the garage
Hmm, Maybe I can put it in the basement and eventually find space for it
It has great bones, and only needs refinishing, I am sure I can find a use for it

And finally, I say...How much would you like for it?  Free, no really, I can give you something for it. Really, you are just taking it to the dump? I can use it.

So I brought it home.

I currently have it set up in our dining room.  It is a great size and we could use a larger table for Thanksgiving.

I don't know if I will keep it forever, or use it in the basement.  I don't even know what I am going to do to it, except to get it sanded and primed.  Quite possibly tonight.
