Day 1077 Floaters

22nd July 2020

We drove to Goodwill to collect the entertainment centre. We had help to load it into our truck from two lads who worked there, it was a heavy beast, made from solid wood. This was evident to us when we unloaded it at home and felt the true extent of its mass.

I was a little uncertain of what we could do with it, Kelli felt sure we could tart it up and sell it on.

We got out the cleaner and wax it to see if we could make it presentable, a bit of elbow grease brought it up lovely, but oh, it was a bugger to move it to just take pictures.

I primed the restored project piece which took ages, it was a race against time to get the paint on before the brush dried.

I carried on stripping Old Crusty, this is a solid oak piece that had been refinished with a crackle paint finish that was fashionable in the nineties, but not now.

Kelli’s new floating seat arrived today. She rushed to inflate it, and couldn’t wait to try it in the water.

I squeezed myself into my tyre decorated ring, and we both floated majestically around for a while before getting ready for our dinner out at New Holland.
