bench update

The benches that we ordered came in! Glen tried to pick them up last week, but due to limited space in our tiny civic he couldn't fit them in. He borrowed his uncle's truck this morning to pick them up. When we got them in the house, we put them at the table to try them out, and they cracked...Glen and I are not huge people. They really shouldn't have cracked especially when we planned for more like 4 people to be able to sit on each bench at one time. So back they go, and we are back at the drawing board. I think Glen might try to build some himself (with the help of his uncle who loves doing woodworking).
