Kelli had found another free dresser in Holland.
There had been another three inches of snow over night, but that didn’t stop us when there is something going for nowt.
The dresser was stored in a garage that was crammed full of car parts.
The guy helped us carry it to the truck, it was another large piece that weighed a ton. The drawers were flapping about as we drove back.
We stopped off at Menards for materials and some upholstery clearer for the chairs we got yesterday.
Kelli had a bumper sales day on Marketplace so she got on with packing stuff ready to ship out on Monday whilst I got on repairing the drawer guides. I had bought some timber to make new ones, rather than cobbling together things made out of scrap.
We had news that Cameron’s car got rear-ended this evening. The pictures he sent us looked pretty bad with the back door stoved in.
From an insurance point of view there’s not much chance in getting it fixed. In Michigan there is a “ No fault” state, meaning that if someone runs into you, you cannot claim on their insurance, even if it’s their fault. Over here it’s “tough luck your cars been wrecked”. The only consolation was the other driver’s car was damaged a whole lot worse.
That was a bit of a downer for him as he is a careful driver and uses his car to carry his drums about.
A There are things about this country that just doesn’t make sense, and car insurance is just one of many.
Another Lifetime to go
