Day 882 Heavy oak

8th January 2020

Kelli turned up with other Goodwill finds. There was a solid oak dresser and a night stand. She had done another shady deal to secure them, that means they had to be sneaked out the front door, rather than the back where the manager would be. Unfortunately I was not with her, so she had find another poor sap to help her. I bet that poor sod had a terrible evening. She did point out that she knew the person, so as not to appear to take anyone off the street to help. Anyway the piece was as heavy as a tank, even the side table almost gave me a hernia.

I had been busy sanding the dresser/wardrobe unit ready for painting.

There a few areas of damage that needed fixing, but nothing that a pot of glue and some clamps can’t solve.
