    Nantucket Porch Swing plan anyone???

    I want to build this swing or possibly an adirondack style. Maybe something else as long as it's not too plain. Free or fee. Free would be nice!:rolleyes:

    Thanks in advance,

    Spiralling service

    One thing I keep hearing. Same thing happened at our Lowes. Service starts off great, then slowly deteriorates to practically nothing! I guess we just have to deal with it, huh?

    Still happy!

    Well, maybe HD isn't the best store, but it still is nice to have a choice or a backup if one doesn't have what you need!

    New Boston, huh? Is he a woodworker?

    Thanks
