Day 1490 Carousel of doom

9th September 2021

I needed to do some work to a new dresser to keep ahead for when Kelli appears to do painting. I had to make a new kick plate, remove the top and edge band a shelf.

These were all accomplished in good time.

The lady who had commissioned the dresser re-paint arrived to chose the stain for the top.

I had made up samples using the stains that I had bought yesterday. The choice was good old Walnut.

The purchase of the stains not selected was not a complete waste of money because I used one for the new dresser top, it was close to the original colour of the sides.

Finishing early my job was to get the food carousel working in the kitchen. It seem to drop over time, stopping the doors from revolving . I had to off-load the contents, making sure that I separate stuff from the top shelf and the rest from the lower tray.

The inner tray support is held by two screws clamping against the centre tube, over time these slip and cause interference.

Using a set of mole grips I clamped the screwdriver and with the extra leverage tightened the screws whilst holding the tray up as far as it would go.

Success! Well, for now, let’s hope it holds for a long time.

I started loading back all the contents, finding stuff I have no idea what it was for.

A small bag of some root flour, fifty-five green lentils and something unpronounceable, but I put them back anyway.
