We have been working (for the last 2 years) on restoring this park bench. We started in the summer of 2010, but it was too hot and I had to abandon the project (I don't handle the heat well, you know). Now that we can both work on this, we have been trying to do a little bit each weekend. These are some pictures of the progress we've made.
As you can see, the legs were very dirty when we started. We think that the bench just sat in the yard and got disgusting while the other people lived here.
We started cleaning the legs with wire brushes, then decided to break out the big guns. By big guns, I mean the drill with a brush on it.
This is what the legs looked like when we finished cleaning them. We primed and painted the legs, but I didn't take pictures.
We started cutting the boards for the back and the seat.
