The clocks changed last night, so the extra hour of daylight will be a welcomed change.
The temperature was a pleasant 57 degrees, so we were able to work with the garage door open. We had to do a little tidying as we were expecting a person delivering a large entertainment centre that they wanted us to paint.
I moved a lot of my timber out to the shed, as it had become a little out of control. The sorting out is good therapy and getting rid of the off cuts give me something to burn.
Around mid afternoon the lady arrived. The furniture piece was a good fit in her truck, almost too good, it was like it had created a vacuum when it was loaded, as three of us could not move it.
Only with a side to side action did it release its grip, and slowly we pulled it out.
After loading it on to a trolly we were able to push it into the garage, and then assess the work required.
It was a decent piece in good condition, and in its day must have been expensive.
These jobs are good earners as we don’t have any capital outlay, so it’s just a few hours work, hopefully this will lead to more.
Out in the back garden the squirrels were having fun with the peanuts that we had bought to replace the sunflower seeds. One in particular, a cheeky, vicious little red bastard was diving into the feeder, grabbing a peanut shell and running along the top of the fence. He then ran through a small hole in the shed, a few minutes later he repeated the same route over and over again. In between he would chase off black squirrels that might have been thinking about grabbing some food.
Later, when I needed to go into the shed I could some of the shells stored in an old bicycle saddle.
