3rd January 2020
We had a stream of customers turning up to collect things.
The chopping board/island unit was finished, so that went on to Marketplace straight away.
We were on a deadline to finish the custom job for delivery tomorrow.
I had to put the things together in the right sequence, which amazingly enough went like a dream. Even the plywood box slid into place like it was made for it.
Kelli was in charge of painting. She started on the recessed side panels that were to be black. I could hear some cursing under her breath, and a lot of huffing. Finally she stormed out muttering as she went.
I followed her into the house, and volunteered to trim the panels with masking tape to make it easier to paint.
It was not the easiest of jobs to do as the amount of wood around the panel was only a quarter of an inch wide.
I have learnt, watching a lot of YouTube videos, that you need patience. You also need a tidy shop, well one out of two isn’t bad.
I wanted to work on the bookcase that smelt of piss. I was carefully burning off the paint, I thought that would be a good way of getting rid of the smell.
Kelli’s nostrils twitched at the stench of heated pee reached her. For the sake of staying happy, I stopped working on it and opened the door to air the place.
We moved the custom piece into the sun room, where we could finish painting in the warm.
