Day 879 A few dollars more

5th January 2020

This was supposed to be a quiet day, a rest from the hectic week, but it didn’t last long.

A couple came to collect the TV cabinet, and another came for a dresser.

Our finished stock was rapidly dwindling, but Kelli always has her eye open for bargains.

With the things we had collected yesterday, and a trip to Grandville the garage was full with interesting projects.

Kelli had been in a conversation with a seller of a dresser/ wardrobe unit. She had been trying to get the price down a bit because there were some damage to the door and various other blemishes. The seller was adamant that the duck tape holding the door panel together did not effect the working of the door. Which was true, but it still had duck tape on it, and looked crap. Finally the price was agreed, so off we went to Grandville to collect it.

I finally got my nerve to spray coat the top of the large dresser. I had sanded and cleaned the veneer so was confident that the surface was ready for the finish.

I shook the can until my arm ached, and started the coating. I was quite please with the result, there was even coverage and I built up a couple of good layers.

I looked back an hour later and noticed some fish eye blemishes. That was depressing, I couldn’t understand what had contaminated the surface. I decided that I could not do anything until it had dried out.
