Day 1011Piss’n down

Pete and Kelli’s social distance day 61

17th May 2020

It was a day of rain, lots of it. We had a couple coming to collect the big ass coffee table just after 1.00pm. I was volunteered to greet them and complete the transaction.

I had been out in the garage giving the top another polish, so it was looking good.

Everything went great, the couple loved it and loaded it up, and off they went happy.

We then had to deliver a head and foot board to an address in Byron Center. We had acquired these pieces as part of a job-lot of two dressers which we had sold last week, so this was a bit of extra profit from that deal.

It gives me a great opportunity to see the different places that people live. This address was down a private road, and set in a wooded valley, so they weren’t short of a few bucks. The heavily pregnant buyer was delighted with the bed parts, so with cash in our hands we made the trip back.

“Oh we have to stop off on the way back to pick up another dresser”

“Another bloody dresser? we have a shed full of the buggers.” “You can never have enough dressers” I kept saying to myself.

We got to the apartment and there was this dresser, ready to be loaded. It was not a great example although it was fully assembled, but there is alway cobwebs and spider’ shit in the base. A quick grunt and it was in the truck, and we headed home.
