Way to Cover Ugly Pipes & Wires
by
Lorraine
Old Houses have Some pretty crazy stuff! Like the window well, vent pipes and cable wires at my front door. I had a box bench built with a hinged lid for access. Used a cool antique metal grate on the front as the vent. Now the ugly necessary stuff is in hiding! Check out the before and after pictures.

Hello, I was wondering if you have plans for this bench. Also did you make it out of wood or recycled plastic. I have an ugly set of pipes by our pool that I need to hide. Your idea is wonderful.
Thanks, Pat Duffy
