Day 913 Healthy competition

8th February 2020

With the dresser finished, it was off to Goodwill to look for more stock. Not that we are down to the bare bones, but as we’d been holed up at home for the whole of Friday some quality time outside was needed. Not that a trip to Goodwill is quality, it is the place where you can meet fellow hunters, otherwise known as “the competition” and share stories of finding the gems.

It amuses me to listen in to the conversation that Kelli has with them. There have been occasions when others have pipped us to the post on some things, and we have our revenge at other times. Each has their own style, and of course we are the best, we do tend to make more effort in making the furniture more appealing. There is an underlining vibe of “you bitch I wanted that piece” and “yes we are doing really well at the moment” but the proof of the pudding, and all that.

We found a tall pine dresser at Goodwill on the south side, but nothing on the north side except a few candles. This place is the best source for those, other that church, but as we don’t frequent, it works for us.

I am getting closer to the stain colour I want for the pedestal tops, so they should be finished tomorrow.

There was a fresh flurry of snow this morning followed by sunshine, it is a mixture of all sorts.
