Factory Cart Hardware Ready For New Frame
After taking all the measurements we need to construct the frame, the hardware is carefully removed from what was left of the old rotted structure. The parts will be cleaned and a new frame will be constructed. The new frame will be constructed of hardwood, most likely oak.
Now the hunt is on to find the right material to get the job done!

? "Green" ?
Is it “green” if we use tradition stains and polys that were donated instead of being thrown into the waste stream?
