A Jesusfreaks tales of farm life with soon to be Six kids

Wow, what a day to put behind you! Really glad to hear the kids and you weren't hurt in the snake incident. So sorry to hear about the cow and calf. That's terrible.

Your chairs shouldn’t be hard to recover. @Bruce gave a good description on how to.

Even the backs?

Hmmm. Does it look like there are screws along the sides, maybe covered with a wood plug? This is above my pay grade to give you advice. I would tackle it if it was my project, but don't want to steer you down a path that would have you ruin a good chair.

Not that i can see.

Even the backs?

My GUESS is that the backs are tacked maybe through the fabric around the edge. I think I'd start by investigating in that corner where the fabric is already torn.

Will do. Either way i an not to concerned if it's slip covers atleast it be washable.

Today been slightly frustrating to much to do and not enough time to spend habi ng fun with dh. He worked 6 days this week and was suppose to be gone all day running errands. He doesn't want the kids out with the craziness going on so we weren't going to see him again today. But he be going shopping tomorrow after he gets off he be back early. Mostly just need some fruit and snack that the kids enjoy. We have plently of everything and I could always make snacks for them just have problems with the produce can't make a apple tree or orange tree so need to buy that stuff. However i did start some orange tree and apple seedlings. So rough 5-10 (some as early as 3) years before they produce. We shall see. I am going to have them in big pots and five gallon buckets until we move then i plant them. Can't wait. I probably start some pecan trees (have some in the property) along with pomagrants and fig and persimmon and see about ordering some other seeds.

Oh yeah! Start yourself an orchard that will be movable when you get your own place. That's good foresight.
Your chairs will be cute with slipcovers. I think the wooden backed ones would be super easy to pop out and recover though. I did a couple of bar stools I got on CL. My sis had given me a roll of cowhide a long time ago and I used that on the seats. Came out great, no sewing and took maybe 20 minutes.
