CRAZY ???

HERE IS MY STORY !!!
I WAS AT WORK TODAY MINDING
MY OWN BUSINESS WHEN MY
COWORKER AND FRIEND BLAIR TOLD ME
THAT SHE SAW A TABLE DISGARDED BY
THE SIDE OF THE ROAD LAST WEEK AND
SHE THOUGHT OF ME. SHE SAID IT HAD
NICE LEGS BUT SHE THOUGHT THE
TOP WAS TO FAR GONE.
SHE TRIED TO STOP AND GET IT FOR ME,
BRINGING HER INTO MY CRAZINESS.
BUT THE TABLE WAS TO LARGE. SO
AFTER WORK IN THE RAIN,
 MIND YOU
IT WAS RAINING THE LAST
FEW DAYS AND THE TABLE WAS OUTSIDE BY
THE ROAD THE WHOLE TIME,
I RESCUED IT. IT HAD MUD ON IT
AND IT WAS SOAKED...
THE LAMINATE ON THE TOP WAS PEELING
AND TURNING GREEN
AND I NOT SURE IF I CAN SAVE IT
BUT IM SURE GOING TO TRY.
AND IT WASN'T DARK YET SO I WONDER
WHAT ALL THE CARS PASSING BY THOUGHT...
HERE ARE PICTURES OF IT

THIS IS THE TOP



AND THIS IS THE BOTTOM


CHUNKS OF WOOD ARE MISSING FROM IT.

I BEGAN TO SCRAPE THE LAMINATE OFF THE TOP
ARMED WITH A PUTTY KNIFE AND A HEAT GUN
SCRAPING OFF 2 LAYERS OF LAMINATE
QUESTIONING MYSELF THE WHOLE TIME

I SPENT ABOUT AN HOUR MAYBE A LITTLE MORE AND GOT THE ENTIRE TOP SCRAPED OFF. UNDERNEATH THE LAMINATE
IS A ROUGH WOOD ,
BUT IM THINKING IT MIGHT GIVE IT THAT
RECLAIMED WOOD, FARM TABLE LOOK.
AND OF COURSE I'LL SAND IT..
 THIS IS WHAT CAME OFF THE TOP
PLUS MORE THAT I ALREADY HAD
SWEPT UP...
SO AM I CRAZY OR DO YOU THINK IT
WILL BE WORTH IT?
I KNOW ITS GOING TO BE A MEGA PROJECT...
