Making a Window Seat
In between job hunting, my husband John Plocher, has been designing and creating a window seat for WP668, our 1916 backyard caboose. WP668 is a bay window caboose with my desk in one bay, facing the house across the garden. The other bay features a lovely custom three piece stained glass window created for us by Vince Taylor. The red linoleum flooring and stained glass were both installed in May 2008. Everything was designed around the planned window seat. The window seat is deep enough so that the space below can hold the window screen inserts John made last year. The seat top is done and John is working on the front. It will be painted white and have a leather cushion when complete. Photos of the project so far:

The window seat makes such a huge difference! I can't wait to see the totally finished product though I have to say it already looks great as is.

Wow! What a cool project. As a guy with only a 20x20 backyard I'm a little jealous and very, very impressed!
