The weather was a little milder today encouraging me to fix the outside Christmas lights. Some of them failed about a week after they were installed.
There were about fifty of the hundred lamps that failed, so somewhere in those fifty was the duff one.
I started to remove them one by one, and got about half way before one broke as I removed it. This was promising, so I fitted a new one then had to refit all the others before I would know that they would all illuminate. As the last lamp was pushed into its housing the string there was light. I felt like I had invented something, Blackpool illuminations was back in business.
We drove to Zeeland to pick up a dresser Kelli had spotted on Marketplace. The lady lived in a glorified trailer park, or caravan site as we would call it.
The piece was bright pink, but pretty solid, so with a little work it could be quite good.
There are some that instantly have a cool look and others look simple, until I start to get into it and find the difficulties.
As soon as I got back I checked out the top. It had been painted with a primer as hard as nails. “Oh goody, more hard sanding”.
I started to prime the POS cabinet, this is in the same vain as Fido’s coffin that I transformed a couple of years ago.
These are labours of love for me, and although I can never get my hours back, I’m just a glutton for punishment.
