But the critters are so cute and even the crabs have perfected the puppy dog eyes look. Lol I'm eating dinner right now. He made a whole frozen pizza just for me.

I am sitting here having breakfast with all these grand ideas knowing full well I won't touch the canopy today. Soon!

Still waiting to stain it. I have to get up at 7am to do it before it gets hot outside. Haven't had a chance to do it.

This is the cabinet finished.

This is it in pieces. Image

I used wood filler to fill in some scrapes and staining will look awesome.

This is the stain.

Thanks! I sure hope so. I have put 12 hours into just disassembling and sanding the canopy. I took the light and everything out of it. It kept blowing fuses in my house. My house was built in 2006 so something was wrong with it.

Yeah, newer houses suck.
They don't build houses like they used to.

I live in a 300 year old house, but the plumbing is terrible.

Just finishing up now the last piece for the first coat of stain. 6 hours from now I can do the second. It really needs it because the first coat doesn't cover the damage to the front piece.
