Day 1483 Cut down to size.

2nd September 2021

Some people piss me off, in particular those that say they will call round to buy a piece of furniture that we have lovingly rescued, and they don’t turn up. We go to a lot of preparation for our customers, getting a small pot of touch up paint poured, and tidying up the garage. We move the piece outside checking that everything has been painted properly. This disrupts any further work as we wait. When it doesn’t happen it’s a big downer.

We are always confident that the pieces will sell, but it’s alway encouraging to start the month off with a bang.

Another of Kelli’s “finds” had to be collected from Allandale. It was another dresser in a little distressed state. One drawer came flat pack, and bits of veneer were missing from others.

We made a good start to another tall dresser, and I fitted a new back panel to the one I cut down.

More pictures were taken and posted on Marketplace.

And a reminder of what it was
