At the auction on Saturday, Sam bought a bunch of stuff that is going to get him in trouble with Rachel when she finds out. (I was in awe at how the boys Tetrised it all into Sam’s van.) One of the things he bought was what we lovingly called the Dismemberment Table – a large, plywood table that has been sealed and fiberglassed* like a boat. With a drain. *jibblie*
I sat in it for much of the auction and we speculated on other uses for it: get a thick glass topper, fill the table with snakes or kittens and have – either way – a really uncomfortable dinner party. Of course, it would make an awesome Lego table.
Anyway, I bought it from Sam and it has found a fantastic home at the center as a water table. The kids had a blast playing with it, and hardly anyone got dismembered.
