The sun was shining so it wasn’t that cold, but Kelli found my work coat that had been hidden away deep in her closet, to keep me warm as I slaved away in the garage.
The pressure was on to get the side tables finished for Monday. Yes, the pressure is on me to make the tops, as all the painting has been done. The endless sanding required to remove the painted wood grain made my fingers sore and filled the air with dust, but the reward was to see the good wood re-emerge.
Kelli had to drive to Zeeland to pick up another dresser, but first we had to off-load a wine cabinet that we picked up last night. The lady was so pleased to see us that we were given a complete tour of the house she just decorated.
We are building up a bit of stock, and space in the garage is limited. We need to finish the French provincial style dresser, so another of my jobs was to stain all the drawer fronts.
Kelli set off, I did not expect her to be back for a long while. There are too many distractions for her, and usually I am the voice of reason and try to moderate her appetite for buying everything she sees. Sure enough, when she returned the truck was filled with stuff from goodwill. I often stand in secret admiration of what she can do with a few ordinary objects. In the wine cabinet there were some beer mats. These disappeared, and then re-appeared with a price tag on them. That’s my girl.
