It was too cold for shorts and t-shirts today dropping to 67 degrees.
Following Kelli’s venture out yesterday, she accompanied me to collect a pine cabinet that she had bought. We didn’t really need or had the space for one, but she got it anyway.
It was a short drive to a new housing estate south of the city. The guy was not ready when we arrived but the two large dogs were ready to take my arms off. We manhandled it up the stairs from the basement and into the truck.
The next stop was to Yonkers a garden centre in Holland. We needed some blooms to brighten up the front of the house and some to plant in the boxes we have fixed to the rear fence.
The place was filled with a group of old people (maybe the same age, or older than me) they were having a tour of the nursery. You could definitely spend a fortune at this place, and I nearly did, but they brighten the place, and lord knows we need it.
I continued on my paint stripping marathon getting the old red cabinet ready for priming.
Someone previously had cut a large hole in the floor, and it looked like chicken wire had been stapled over it. I spent nearly an hour digging them out. The hole, I had to cover as I didn’t want to replace the base. I decided to encase it with two thin pieces of plywood that I had in my scrap pile
