I moved the dining table out of the garage and assembled it in the sunroom. This project has been a problem since the start. Just when I think I’ve put the final coat on the top I find another blemish.
This was my last attempt, so I rubbed over the surface with a scouring pad removing the dust. Then with the best brush made from the finest unicorn tail I applied a final coat.
It looked smooth and even, I made sure that I hadn’t missed anything, hoping for the best.
The garage is now full of furniture, which require careful movement to avoid knocking anything over, especially with my big feet.
We had a lady due to bring over a tin of stain for a dresser we both had lovingly stripped.
This was to match other pieces in her son’s bedroom, alway a dodgy scenario, but hey ho, we’re up for anything.
Kelli worked on the single side table, whilst I did some repairs to the turquoise buggers.
These had been nailed together, which gave me a lot of fun removing.
I finished the repair to the chair, with the new cross brace fitted it will blend in well with the others.
Last on the list was assembling the base for the mid century dresser ready for painting.
Kelli had been searching Marketplace for free stuff, and found another desk in Hudsonville, another bloody desk, another heavy oak desk that will strain our greens getting into the truck.
Oh joy for tomorrow, is there room in the garage? No, which means I will have to try to strip it down to store until I can start work on it.
In this business you have to be constantly looking out for new stuff, there is no pattern,
and certainly you can’t be complacent. These desks give a good return, so even my moaning cuts no ice with Kelli.
Another Lifetime to go
