Day 117 Bye bye Fido

25th November 2017

So this is my last full day, and the news from the market was good. We had sold the round dining table, the chairs and Fido’s coffin!!! and this was before eleven o’clock. I was working in the garage scrabbling around trying to get things finished. I had laid up the wood for the back panels to the Fifteen bucks piece, but there is no timber left to cut the battens to fix them in place, so this will wait until my return.

There was one last piece that we managed to complete. I had made a new infill part for the top, and brought to life another interesting cabinet.

This didn’t stop us from making one last visit to Goodwill, but pickings were slim. We then went to another thrift store and she found an iron bookcase that folded flat. This would go straight to Hudsonville. I found a Herman Miller “Scooter ” for three dollars fifty, it was virtually brand new, no marks on the base, it was a bargain. We looked on eBay and, I’m sure we could get eighty to a hundred bucks for it.

We had a wonderful dinner at Pereddies as usual.
