But if you just happen to run out of money before you get to CH chairs (no 
one EVER does that do they??), we have a great temporary solution.  We 
watched for summer sales on those plastic stackable lawn chairs - tried out 5 
or 6 versions for comfort and bought about 30 of them for $4 each.  We figure 
when we can finally afford "nice" chairs, they'll be great out in the patio.  
Meanwhile they are wonderful for indoors and out, for meetings and to stack 
out of the way when needed - light , easy to clean.  I know, I never would've 
thought...... but they work fine for now.

this is all partly to say, it is so great to get built and moved in , that 
this sort of thing can work out over time and seems pretty small in 
comparision.
