"woodtick" is right… it's naturally insect/rot resistant. If you do want to change the color though, don't use paint- most paints don't stick well to cedar. go with stain

Hi,
Although cedar can be left untreated, in time the sun will turn it gray, using Cabot's clear solution in a cedartone finish will protect the wood & look great.

I have an unfinished ceder porch swing,can I use waterproofer to preserve it or should I stain or paint it?

WITH the summer jump season in full swing, Swindon jockey Wayne Hutchinson is looking to make up for lost time.

the local rider fractured a couple of bones in his vertebrae when his mount fell at Southwell in April and has been on the sidelines for just over six weeks.

he told the Advertiser: “Everything seems to have healed alright and hopefully I can start getting a few rides under my belt.

“I finished up with just over 40 winners last season and enjoyed a good spell as number one jockey at Barbary Castle, deputising for the injured (Robert) ‘Choc’ Thornton.

“Unfortunately the horses go a bit quicker on the fast ground in the summer and if you take a tumble there is a higher risk you can get injured.

“However it will be great to get back in action, but the rides are a bit more difficult to pick up as several of the trainers I ride for don’t have many firm ground horses.

“My sponsors last season T4 Cameras of Market Street, Swindon, have agreed to sponsor me again and I will be sporting their logo on my riding gear and I am grateful for their support.”

Bruce Dingwall, director of the family-run T4 Cameras said: “Racing has always been a passion, jump racing in particular.

“Visiting Barbury Castle and watching the horses on the gallops got me hooked on the sport, and we are very pleased to sponsor a top flight jump jockey.”

I have a wall that is framed I could put a patio door on that enters into my workshop. I was wondering if anyone reading this has ever brought thier car "inside" through a patio door. I am looking at the type that swing out from the sides. I have a VW bus that can be about 6'3" tall and not as wide. The only thing I can think of it might be a little hard on the threshold but I don't plan on using it as a garage door, bring it in, fix it, roll it out. No running indoors. The space is air conditioned and its on my property.

any ideas? or sources for "old fashoned" garage doors that would provide decent insulation quality? I cant have a roll up due to stairway configurations. I have found a door my project will fit though for $278.00

I've found these at organic food stores, only.

Have you ever put your car through a patio door?

I live in San Antonio and need new cushions for a porch swing I bought very inexpensive. I just had dirty cushions.

These are soooo easy to make. Either do it yourself, or call any seamstress or alteration shop.

The bench cushions at Cushion Source can be made with Sunbrella fabrics and would be perfect for a porch swing. You can tell them what size you need and they will make it. my wicker chair cushions fit perfectly.

There is an Ikea store where you could look for inexpensive cushions but it is in Houston Texas. Probably not worth driving 200 miles because of the price of gasoline it might not be a saving — even if you found something.

Do you have a big yardage store in your area? They usually sell foam for cushions. then get a seamstress to sew the covers.

Custom made and inexpensive don't usually go together.

An upholsterer could make them for you, or you could try the stores that carry outdoor furniture and see if there are replacement cushions that might just happen to fit.

Does anyone who makes custom made cushions for a porch swing?
