I visited RuthAnn a couple of weeks ago. She was looking a good as ever, of course. And she had some brand new and very beautiful furniture.
So I loaded her old furniture into my truck. We were not sure how well it would fit. But the sofa, love chair, and straight-back chair all fit quite nicely. I covered them with a blue tarp and made some temporary ties. When it was time to leave I decided that the temporary ties were good enough for the whole trip.
By the time I got into northern Florida I found that the tarp had worn through and torn in some places due to the poor tie-down job.
I determined that rain was in the weather forecast in southern Florida, so I spent an hour re-tarping and re-tying the load.
Fortunately the tarps held well, and the furniture remained dry through a heavy thunderstorm. The pieces fit well and looked great in our livingroom. Thanks again, RuthAnn!
