The document describes the process of repairing and upgrading an old chair over multiple phases. The first phase failed structurally but was aesthetically pleasing. The second phase solved structural issues but lacked design. The third phase cost $50 and added features like an expanded base, railings, and a flower box. A fourth phase added more leg supports. In total $150 was spent to repair the chair and restore the "couple" of chairs.

59. The dyson groom attachment

61. Pressing down on the top (thumb) section causes metal bristles to extend out of the dyson groom

63. When the device (bristles) are full of hair, all you do is release pressure on the top (thumb) area and the metal bristles go back inside – leaving the hair free to be sucked into the vacuum hose

64. WHOOSH – it’s gone in a second!

65. Into the dyson collection container

66. Two minutes of brushing with Toby & three strokes of Riku’s fur!
