Day 1520 Semi- detached

9th October 2021

Another drive to Zeeland to collect a dresser that Kelli had bought, from her big chair the previous evening.

We were warned that there was some damage to the back panel, and it was shown laying on the top in the pictures.

Normally that isn’t a problem because older dressers have back panels that are made up of sectional panels.

As we drove into the driveway the dresser was waiting in the garage, it looked good, but as we looked closer the extent of the work ahead became apparent. One of the side panels had de-laminated with parts of the veneer missing.

Also some the pieces of back panel were missing, but the top and drawer fronts were in good condition.

As we lifted it into the truck, the floor became detached and a side panel was loose, and there was a danger it would fall apart.

Getting it out again, once we arrived home the floor panel fell out, this will definitely be a rescue project.
