I’ve started stripping the drawer fronts of the “Train wreck” dresser. The time to strip one drawer equates to Kelli taking a shower, washing her hair, drying her hair and getting ready to go out. I now have plenty of things to soak up all that waiting time.
We drove to an address on the north side to collect a desk. These have been quite profitable in the past turning them into bedroom side tables. Seeing this for the first time I could see that there was a lot of work to make that work.
Getting back to the garage I was able to finish the top for the three drawer dresser, and a sealing coat on the commissioned dresser.
Finally we had a buyer for the French Provincial dresser, thank goodness, I had been moving it in and out of the garage for over a week. The double trolleys that I had lashed together was a death trap, I lost count of the number of times I tripped on it. Now it is getting it ready to collection tomorrow.
A young Mexican chap turned up to collect another dresser that we posted yesterday. It wasn’t a particularly good piece of furniture, but we gave it some interest by stripping and staining the top and top drawer fronts.
