Day 1367 The paint was still wet.

9th May 2021

Well it didn’t take long for the table and chairs to sell. I had just finished touching up some of the areas I had missed when the couple turned up to collect.

We have had those pieces for about a year, cluttering up the place, so it was a huge sense of relief to sell it, and give me more space.

It was Mother’s Day over here which meant visits from Kelli’s children, it was good to see them again, although with my short and brushed hair it was a wonder they recognised me.

I tackled the side part of the front lawn, which wasn’t completed last autumn. I had bought this lethal looking tool for tearing up the ground, an hours worth of that rendered me useless for the rest of the day. I managed to collect up all the debris, and sowed some seed, I’m eager to see if old death fingers can manage to grow any grass.

I have started work on a dresser that we were given as an unfinished project piece. I know why it was a project, as some of the drawers were missing, which means we have to reimagine it as something cool.

It is nothing special, a chipboard carcass painted using a roller, and not very well. The top had blown patches all over and was not salvageable, this meant a new top, which was the only money I was prepared to spend on it.

The rest of the cool stuff will have to be made using material I have in the garage.
