It has had the top sanded and refinished a couple times in the last few years. All the rain the last 2 years and it was starting to delaminate and the edges were swelling up again, so I decided to fix it. I re-cut the bad edges off the wood and sealed the chit outta it, got a scrap of Corian big enuff to cover and screwed it on. It otter hold up better now..... before...when it was in good shape.

We may know the time Ben Carson lied, but does anyone know the time Hillary Clinton told the truth? Immersing oneself in progressive lieberalism is no different than bathing in the sewage of Hell.
