Happy Weekend! (It's raining here!)
Name an item in your house and tell the story behind it. How did you get it? What is its purpose (if it has one)? Show a picture.
Several years ago, we went to an Amish furniture maker about making a bookcase and filing cabinet. I wanted the bookcase for some of my cookbooks and mentioned that I wanted extra-deep shelves (because some books can be rather large). We gave him our deposit and a couple weeks later, he called to ask us when we wanted the furniture delivered.
Well, they got the bookcase up the stairs, but there was no way they were going to make the turn from the hallway into the computer room. It was simply too tall. They took it back outside. Rick took a window out of the computer room. They took the bookcase out to the back of the house and got it in the room via the empty window. That was a chore! Then, after they left, Rick put the window back in. If we ever move, that bookcase will probably go with the house, unless we take the window out again.
