9th January 2020
Another day in the garage staining the top, drawer fronts and door. Sometimes I long to work on one of my project pieces just for the challenges they give me.
The forecast of bad weather over the weekend prompted Kelli to go off and do the weekly shop, so I carried on working on the dresser/wardrobe combination.
I only have a left handed rubber glove that I use for staining, and that suits me fine being left handed, but when Kelli has to use it she is right handed which makes it look like she has a hoof, I can’t look at her when she has it on, I crack on every time.
By the end of the evening it was complete, we had moved it into the sunroom as it was warm, so that I could mount the door.
The one drawback of our house is the lighting. We chose to have mood lighting rather than spots, which normally is the way we like it, but when you are trying to fit dark screws into a dark cabinet, it is challenging. I have to rely on feel, and sometimes I can be scratching around for five minutes before I find the hole.
That is the time when you wish you had back lit eyes to illuminate what’s in front.
Eventually I managed to fit the door, and the piece looked fabulous.
