It was deja vu, the FedEx man pulled up and extracted a long package, I knew what it was, so I went to help him.
We struggled towards the garage and laid it down, it was another bed frame.
Our original frame had a cracked top rail, caused by a fault in the timber. I had glued the part and was able to use it, but I asked Kelli to order a replacement part.
She contacted the company and explained the situation and what part we needed.
They called back to say that they did not have the part available, but would send us a new complete new frame, and that is why we have a new one on the floor of the garage.
Now all I have to is change the faulty part over then repack it back in the box and then post it on Marketplace.
We had to drive to Zeeland to deliver the mid century dresser we sold in record time.
The buyer was a regular customer who lives next to the Max DuPree house. It was funny seeing all the old pieces in use. She is definitely a fan of Bristol Cottage, and very welcome.
We also picked up another dresser from somewhere in the wilds of Zeeland.
You know when the wilds begin because the tarmac stops and you hit dirt. The properties are large, and look expensive with the amount of land that is attached, you would think they could afford to surface the road.
Getting back Kelli couldn’t wait to start stripping the paint on it.
I worked on the round table, and applied a stain to the newly veneered dresser top.
I stepped out to the garage early just to check that there were no blisters that had appeared on the top overnight, I’m getting paranoid about blisters now, but it was fine, so the stain went on evenly. I finished the day with a coat of sealer, now I’ll be worried all through the night that it will be good in the morning.
