if i can make a 70's bultaco run as a teen i can handle this...
well chairs needed reupholstered, and the local fix it up shoppe wanted
$175 per chair, how hard can it be? so wife went on down to local
hobby/fabric store and brought back 200 bucks in fabric, foam and
batting. so this weekend the wife, girls and i took apart chairs and
watched online how to video and we made 7 chairs like new for the cost
of having one done. i will share with you the first chair was harder
than starting a 1984 cr500 in the winter, i got as many battle scars as
that 81 yz465 gave me. staples broke on the way out wood splinters from
40 year old chairs infest my knuckles like a brisk ride thru the briars
behind old man chismars farm. so now i have a new camp fire story that
doesn't involve handle bar harry.

it's not how much you make, it's how much you keep.
