We bought this Simply Outdoors Shorewood 4 Pc. White Wicker Coastal Set after we got our income tax return. This is the only purchase we made from that return, we used the rest to pay off one of our credit card with interest. We got it on sale when Sears had their Spring sale.
Our porch wasn't wide enough so we have to put it long ways. The table top has a tempered glass and required a little assembly so the kids help out Dad to put it together. It's nice to have a furniture outside because we can really enjoy our newly built front porch and enjoy the warm weather.
I think I would like to put a carpet on the porch floor but that would be a next project to think about.
It's funny, hubby is talking me into having a sun porch built at the back. Right now, we have a skinny back porch out there and he wants to widen the space by removing the existing porch and replace it with an enclosed sun porch but much bigger. I told him that we can't do it this year since we still have to pay off the rest of the loan we made last year. We spent almost $22,000 for the building of the front porch and we still have like seven grand left to pay. Our goal is to have it paid by the end of this year. The good thing is, we split this amount and transferred it to a 0% interest offer that we got so we are not paying any interest.
My husband is very good in envisioning projects but my responsibility is to make sure that we have the money we need before we start the project. Too much debt stresses me out. So let us see if we can do it in the next years to come, I hope!
