Ralph, I am sorry that your comment got missed today; you may have already figured this out if you went on to Lowe's but, I think the bench was right around $130.00 that is with the 2" foam and fabric choice...I say I think because I can't find my expendature records for that project...Back when I was selling items, I kept books for each project and unfortunately since this was my own project I am afraid my recordkeeping wasn't that great:-)  That sounds about right though; I remember thinking that is was strange that the ottoman was more expensive than the bench and the ottoman ran around 130.00 not including the foam and fabric; even now though, I am second guessing my memory...Let's just say be prepared to pay around 100.00 for material and supplies and add accordingly if you decide to aphoulster:-)  Check back in if you have any other questions and I will try to not be so neglectful next time!  I am going to post pics of the ottoman tomorrow once the day gets going, needing a little extra light!!!  Good luck on the bench!

Hello Ralph,

thanks for your concern, the floods have not directly effected our home/property, however all th residences on the brisbane river were devistated home and industry alike.

Peacock saws who are at West End and are one of my business I use were flooded, they had to relocate their Admin offices to a temporary building higher up.

The saw shop was a mess when I went past. In fact I had a set of planer blades there for sharpening and I thought they wold have been gone. However when i rang them, they asked for a description so they could find them, Fat chance I thought, but sure enough they rang back and said they were ready, amazing so I offered my services (labour) to help clean up anything.
