Day 1151 Stew in my tummy

5th October 2020

The garage was rocking today.

I washed off the stain from the top of the dresser and sanded it back, it was a pig of a job.

Kelli started work on a hanging cabinet.

We tried not to get distracted by the antics that Covid infested Trump was doing on the network news.

I started stripping the drawer fronts from one of the free dressers we got last week, boy that was tedious. There are a total of sixteen drawers in the two units we had been given, then there will be the carcass’s to do afterwards.

We dragged the green dresser outside to take pictures. This was not a great piece, it was only the fact that it was free gave us any interest in it at all. But Kelli posted it on Marketplace at a very good price, and it sold very quickly, I guess our standards of taste are not the same as other people’s.

I wanted to really get ahead on the furniture to give me some time to concentrate on the patio. This small part will figure in the redevelopment of the back garden, it won’t be cheap but it will be cool.

For dinner Kelli made the most amazing stew, it was made from fake chicken and tasted great. The texture of the fake meat was very good, but I’m not sure I want to know what it is made from.

Mike had cut some branches off from two of our tree in the front garden, they didn’t seem very large growing on the tree, but once they were on the ground, they were massive.

I proceeded to cut off the small branches to be able to put them in our yard waste bin. As we are paying for it, we need to use it every week.

I managed to stuff about 75% of the stuff in the bin, stamping it down to maximise the internal area.
