Made the dogs a resting/lounging bench today out of scavenged/free lumber and the headboard of a broken bedstead that had been my son's. The headboard was tufted and cushioned slightly, so I figured it would make a soft place to lounge while still being not fluffy enough for Ben to chew up....I hope.

Took about 20 min. to build and all the materials were entirely free...some lumber scavenged out of the trash, some lumber that was given to us from a set of bunkbeds my brother had taken apart. Even the hardware was reused from the bunkbed deconstruction.

Made it sturdy enough for several humans to sit down as well, as we often sit down up at the shed during chores to have a chat and visit the dogs. It isn't glamorous or cute, but it's entirely functional, easy to clean and totally FREE! That's my favorite feature. :D
