reuse, reuse , recycle.

in preparation for the countertops, we bought a new dishwasher a few months ago, so as not to have to shell out so much money all at once. the best part of that purchase was.... the box. now don't get me wrong, the dishwasher is fabulous and i love it... but it has not gotten near as much love and attention as the dishwasher box. it has been a fort, a "dog" house, a "dunk tank," and a tunnel, among other things. it finally gave up the ghost a few days ago and went into the recycle bin. where, the day before recycle day, my loving husband pulled it out and made the countertop model in the previous post...

well since we had the cardboard out, we had a lot of fun re-purposing it yet again.. meet sir george and sir ben, of the granite island:
