In the begInnIng – there were two chaIrs

bought at an estate sale for $50

they both rocked & were so comfortable

then – the supports on one of them faIled

so a.j. decIded to “fIx” It

we’ll call thIs “phase 1”

“phase 1” looked good on paper

but was an engIneerIng nIghtmare

we almost lost the fIrst test pIlot

s0 a.j. went back to hIs drawIng board

he also went back to home depot for

more wood & “supplIes”

we’ll call thIs“phase II”

“phase II”cost = $50

(the cost we paId for both chaIrs)

“phase II solved the engIneerIng &

stabIlIty Issues

but faIled the aesthetIcs test

so a.j. went back to home depot

we’ll call thIs “phase III”

“phase III” cost = another $50

s0 – three phases – and $100 later

the “new chaIr”
