    Right where I want to be.
    Nice job Pete.
    Did you use the strap hinges for the look?
    From the first pic, I thought you'd used a piano hinge.
    That ought to make momma very happy.

    Thanks Dave! :) Theres no hook for the seat lid. I overlapped the edge a little to grab and lift up. No piano hinge for this one it looked MUCH better with rustic gate hinges.
