Day 1523 Keeping up appearances

12th October 2021

A drive in the rain to Hamilton to collect another piece of furniture. Thank goodness for GPS I don’t know how people lived without it. The property was a mobile home set in a wilderness, my question, what do these people do all day?

There was nothing around, if you didn’t have transport you could die and never be found.

The piece was a double door with a single drawer, and the kind that sell quick, but not for a great profit.

As soon as we got back, Kelli couldn’t wait to get started on it, grabbing the heat gun she set about stripping the top.

We had a buyer for the dresser we posted yesterday, due for collection Wednesday.

That meant there were things that had to be finished, I had to fit the back panel, and a few paint touch ups.

There is alway pressure to have projects for Kelli to work on, but most things we buy cheaply require repair work that only I can do.

So when we get new stock I am alway conscious that the repair works has to take priority. As I look at my current workload, apart from the chair stripping, I have a drawer in the piece we bought today to repair, and a worktop to sand and fill some holes, all that I have to do to keep the production going.

There is a dresser that I want to dis-assemble in order to repair an end panel, and I’m itching to get started on it.
