The Week in Renovation: Wednesday
Can you make me
a chair that looks
like this chair?
I don't have
that kind of wood.
If I get it for you,
will you make me
the chair?
I don't have
that kind of tool.
If I get it for you,
will you make it
for me?
I haven't made
a chair in years.
I saw you making
a chair this morning.
If you think you saw me
making a chair,
you didn't see anything.
