Thinking Out Loud

We didn’t know that the patio furniture in the countryside is now half-eaten by rust. We were not told about it. Had we known right away, rust would not have spread that much on the furniture. We are now left with nothing to do but replace it. There will be a party by next month at the countryside home and my uncles are thinking of cleaning the place up and repairing or replacing what needs to be repaired or replaced.
