30th December 2019
I worked on the large dresser trying to remove a ring that marked the top. Whatever caused it, marked the lacquer right through and could not be repaired. My only option was to strip the whole top back to bare veneer.
Kelli was off doing her errands, so I knuckled down to getting the top sanded.
It had snowed overnight, I could tell because of the groaning noise that Kelli made when she looked out the window. The dogs didn’t want to stay out very long, soon they were begging to be let in. In snowy weather they both poop on the move, like they are laying a pipe.
We still had a lot of furniture in the garage and nothing sold, December was set to be the worst month of the year.
There was a dresser that had been languishing in the garage for the last month.
It had been in the store for a while, when it sold, there was great rejoicing, but it was returned it was because the buyer didn’t like the hole that was in the top.
Previously it must have been used to support a TV, and they made a hole for the plug to go through. Kelli listed it as a Dresser/TV cabinet, so the hole was explained, but obviously not to all.
I had filled in the hole soon after I got back, but the cabinet had a particular paint finish that I thought would be difficult to match, but that was until Kelli was inspired. She managed to match the finish so well I could even see where I had filled the hole, amazing.
Another Lifetime to go
