A flurry of excitement as the two project pieces were collected today. Although they didn’t provide much cash, it gave us more room in the garage to work on furniture that we can sell.
We made a start on the dresser that we got from Zeeland last week.
The drawers were made from cedar and the carcass was poplar. It had been painted in a light green that didn’t respond easily to the heat gun. With perseverance we got them sanded and ready for staining tomorrow.
I had fun trying to help the lady who came to collect the large mirror get it into her car. Although the dimensions were clearly stated in the description, it was clear that it wouldn’t fit in her vehicle. I was afraid that if I managed to shoe horn it into the back seat, toehold would never get it out again. It was finally shoved in the boot with just under half sticking out. We gave them a small bungee to tie the boot lid down, and they went off happy.
We have a number of projects that we want to get complete this week, now we have the space to move around.
