We moved things around in the garage, Kelli was working on a piece covered in thick black paint. We had since July, we hid it away because there was a lot of work to do on it, and at the time I wasn’t inspired to do anything with it, but as we had caught up with a number of pieces, there was no other option.
It was not possible to use a heat gun on it as the paint just turned to mush, so the trusty scraper came into use. So much black paint had been used, including the sides of the drawer boxes, which is a job I hate. We managed to do a lot of paint removal to it.
I stained the top that I had sanded, and finally the finish on another top had finally dried, meaning I could apply another coat.
Kelli had purchased a modular storage system from Amazon that would fit into her wardrobe to store her massive collection of clothes. I had the job of assembling it.
“It didn’t come with any instructions “ she said.
Leaving me with just an image as a guide to fit together.
The product was okay, another example of China’s ability to supply things that are affordable and aren’t made in America.
It took me a couple attempts to fit the corner moulding correctly, but once in my stride it was together in no time.
I had reservations that it was strong enough to withstand the weight of all the garments that she squeezed into the cubes, but so far it’s still standing. I was pleased, out of the three and a half fitted wardrobes int he House, she has three of them.
Note, there were instructions, but they were hidden under the pile of panels, typical.
