Move out, clean up day 2
Okay I’m bored with this already.
I’m concentrating on the garage, and there is dust and sawdust everywhere. I move a box, big cloud of dust, shift a piece of furniture, big cloud of dust, it is hell on a stick.
We had a lady drive from Wyoming to collect Greer’s old bed frame. This was a massive steel four poster monstrosity.
She turned up in a SUV that was smaller than ours, and as the end frames were nearly seven feet tall by five feet wide. The only option was to tie them to her roof rack. This was a struggle, but we managed it. By the time she drove off her vehicle resembled a space ship. She did let us know the she got home safely.
My goal for the day was to move an old gun cabinet that Kelli’s dad had made. It was buried deep back in the garage, filled with junk, not being utilised very well, but it was a fine piece, and deserved to have a useful purpose in the new garage.
I didn’t want to disturb Kelli, so I decided a plan that wouldn’t entail me being severely disabled. With careful tilting and sliding I managed to get it on to a trolley and wheeled it back along the road. As it came apart in two pieces, the lower part was easier to move.
Getting it back together required the same creative action, but no injury was sustained.
A good shower washed away the filth, and then we sat outside with a fire burning all the old wood. We toasted the evening sky, and watched the glowing embers fade away.
