X2! some very good ideas Perchie. Unfortunately pallet walkways don't hold up very well to our snowload but they do make great floor bases for small buildings! Hubby used a couple for my little workshop. We have several "benches around the area. A friend of ours tore his deck off a few years ago and he was going to throw away all those seats that were built into the railing, silly person!!! They were made of pressure treated wood already so Pa just put base boards under them so they would stand on their own and I just slapped a good coat of opaque red deck stain on them and voila! Three nice five foot benches. I moved them around several times over the years but now there is one in front of my coop/greenhouse, one against the house where I can sit and watch the chooks play in the garden and one out by the garden cottage (now pa's workshop) sitting between two huge white pines.Perchie
We have two riding mowers but it's really hard for me to get on them and in the snow they are no good anyway. I did pick up a rollator. It's a bit beat up but I got it in an auction super cheap. That will probably work pretty well once I am down to the leg brace. Guess I just have to accept the fact my days of motivating without some sort of aid are over. My dr was trying to tell me that even before I fell but I was being bullheaded. BUT I AM NOT ............
