Day 113 Apocalypse now.

21st November 2017

Frantic day trying to finish everything before I leave. I had a fire going to keep warm and to burn the wood off-cuts, so I smelt like a kipper.

There is a lot to cram in, but there will be things that Kelli will be able to finish.

There is already things building up for my next trip.

Kelli’s created a wonderful meal from the scraping of the fridge, after forgetting the vital ingredient to the one she had planned.

She also painted the Apocalypse unit ready to go to Hudsonville on Friday.

This project has taken a long time, and consumed much of a Scandinavian forest. Realistically I should not have wasted my time on it, but I am glad I did.

It started out as a water damaged ruin.

All the damaged panels were cut out leaving the door, the drawer and the front frame.

Each side was replaced with new wood.

Now it’s been repainted and lightly distressed, it looks amazing.

We also crammed in a visit to Goodwill (how could we not?), and found some more unusual things.

Yes, they are trees made from twigs, and they are so cool, whoever made them must have had the patience of a saint.

I am a practical person, I love making things, and especially working with wood. I appreciate good design, music and food.
