The replacement router I ordered on EBay turned up today. I was able to buy the exact same model that I had fitted in the table I got from Dave’s workshop. Although old it looked in great condition and was easy to fit and ready to roll in about fifteen minutes. I still want to find out what was wrong with the old one, but now I can strip it down at my Leisure.
I continued work on the large entertainment centre. Having loverly repaired and strengthened the base, I directed my attention to the top. There were a number of bits of wood nailed to the inside which I eased off. Removing the exposed brad nails I was a little surprised when the top fell off. This meant extensive repairs need to be done. Each time Kelli came out into the garage the piece was in a worse state. I assured that I had everything under control, of which I didn’t, but with some extra work I could make it good again.
Kelli continued selling the small stuff, it really is a great second string to the business, and a good way to use up all the boxes and packaging that we continue to get delivered every day, we have this recycling thing down to an art.
Earlier this morning I had a shock when I opened up Facebook. It is the first thing I do in the day to see what is happening.
As the pages opened, and I scrolled down it stopped on a Friends request from Michael Elliott. The sadness of his death came back to me, and like his Facebook account it will last forever.
