Folding Chairs Blog

by Jeremy Brooks

Question by _: How do you ensure that your “cook-out” is completely outdoors and no one goes inside?
My 8,9, and 38 year old in-laws are coming over. The 38 yr old is my Mother in Law. A monster family if I may add.

I’m thinking of bringing out a folding table and all we have is 2 chairs (we’re a family of 3, and we only need 2 chairs because we have a baby). That leaves our guests seatless (unless we sit on the ground or beach towels). We were fine doing this before with my Mother in Law’s 16 year old daughter, but she still made her way inside to get Mayo and raid our fridge.

It bothers me when people think they can come inside and help themselves to whatever they want. When I go to someone’s house, whatever they offer is what I can have. I’m not sure if you agree, or not, but I never ask for additional food, it’s rude.

I understand the kids will have to pee (and not in my pool!), so they’ll need to go in for that, but it’s right by my front door.

How else can I make sure it’s an OUTDOOR ONLY type of get together for about 5 people? Sometimes they don’t get the hint.
They’re my in-laws. I dont’ like them because they dont’ respect me, that’s why I don’t want them in my house. I hate cleaning up after them, and if they stay outside, the only person who has to clean up is the ants!
We don’t have enough seating inside the house for our guests either. That poses the other problem why I don’t want them in the house. I would kill them if they got ketchup and mustard all over my couch. They already peed on my couch before!

Question by yvonne19111: Has anyone ever seen a Buffet/Hutch with folding wooden chairs hidden inside?
I have a buffet/hutch that opens to a full size dining table. It has 6 folding wooden chairs tucked inside the ornate walnut doors. It is easily converted from a side buffet to a dining table. What is this called and how can I research it’s value.
