1st January 2020
We both were working like mad people to get things ready for collection.
We had a dark bench picked up, we didn’t do much to it apart from a bit of stain to hide some worn places, and a waxing all over.
They seemed to like it, so handed over a handful of dollars. It was a heavy beast, so I helped them to load it into their vehicle, all part of the service.
I started on the new dresser that was already sold. The top had been stripped but I had to make an upstanding at the back to hide some screw holes.
I completed a plywood box that would form the shelf and tidy up the inside.
Things were moving along nicely, I even managed to paint the frame for the chopping board unit.
Kelli was finishing off the items to be collected, we even finished off a dresser that we got for free in November. I stripped off the top and Kelli put a dark stain on it. It was not one of my favourites, it was built like a tank, but the design was not great. I had plans to make it look better but Kelli just wanted to get rid of it, so the minimum work needed to get it ready to sell was agreed.
We went out to New Holland Brewery to celebrate our good fortune. Luckily for me it was Stein night, so that was duly ordered.
There is never a discrete way of drinking from one of these, it’s like lifting a bucket to your lips, but I didn’t care. Mistakenly I chose one of the stronger brews, so it didn’t take long for me to feel the effects. This is when Kelli wants to slide under the table, which is exactly how I felt by the time I finished it.
After exhausting all my jokes and smutty innuendos we got home, I set my self down in the big chair and promptly fell asleep, for Kelli it was probably perfect, a bit of peace and quiet.
