Christmas Break Project No.2

Saving our old couch from the dump heap! 
Look boys this is what we mean when we said
"Don't plop onto the couch"!

We were tired of the springs having been sprung and creating an uncomfortable sitting experience.

Step number one ~ have a peek inside.

Step number two ~ retie the front and middle row springs back together.

There were two of them that were in really tough shape but we think we saved them.

Step number three ~  use jute striping to reinforce the support for the springs.

Step number four ~ weave in a second row of jute.

Kenny & Karie have a fun time hammering with the upholstery hammer.  It is magnetic on one end to aid in setting the tacks then you turn the hammer over and nail the tacks into the couch frame.

Back in couch sitting business!
