We had a buyer for a dresser that we had finished last week, Kelli was panicking because we didn’t have anyone jump on it straight away. The lady turned up early in the afternoon, and we loaded it into her truck, and off she went.
I worked on another dresser that we bought as a project piece back in May. A project piece is something sold as incomplete because, usually the person can’t be bothered to finish it, or they don’t have the skill/equipment to complete it.
We have do a few of these, and mostly they turn out well.
This one needed a new top, because the veneer was chipped, and large parts had been removed. The basic carcass was okay, a cross rail had been fixed with a two inch nail, so that needed to be removed. Once I did that I found that the tongue holding it into the frame had broken, so another inserted piece to make good, and the repair was a good’n.
I started reading the John Bolton memoir “The Room Where It Happened” I had it sitting on the coffee table for a while, but non of our Republican friends and family saw it, which was a shame.
We dragged the entertainment centre that we just finished into the living space, it was a heavy beast, good job it came with castors.
Another Lifetime to go
