If you are the Mayor of Sadieville, you quickly learn there are only a few people and you must just do some things by yourself. Last fall someone complained about the seesaw seats pinching them at Sadieville's park. Claude went down and took the seats off for the winter. He brought them home and purchased nice wood to make new ones. My only help with this part was asking that the new seats be contoured so they were easier to sit on. Having done the seesaw many times with the Mini's, I knew how uncomfortable that plain rectangular seat was for adults and the kids. Claude took the suggestion and went to work.
I went down to walk the treadmill and found this on his work table in the basement.
The new seats looked wonderful.
Yesterday Claude had them ready to install. I went along to take pictures of the finished project. The first thing I saw which sent me into peels of laughter was this delightful method of keeping kids safe until the new seats were made and installed. My understanding is that Brian Reese, one of our City Commissioners did this to make sure no one used them until the new seats were on the metal posts. Love it!
This is the finished project. I posted these before and after pictures on Facebook and the citizenry are all very happy to have nice new seats on the seesaw. Claude will go back and fill the old holes with wood putty or somethings to make that part right.
When we left a little boy was already trying them out. Sure felt good to see someone enjoying all Claude's hard work. Thanks Mayor!!
