We were on the move again picking up dressers from Zeeland and Hudsonville.
First stop was God’s country where there was a large piece that turned out to be not so great, but we took it anyway. Then it was off to Hudsonville.
The image that was on Marketplace wasn’t bad, it was for free which caught Kelli’s attention. When the garage door opened it still looked okay. The guy helped me move it to the truck, but we needed to take out the drawers in order to load it on top of the one we already had in the back.
That is when the true extent of the dressers condition. When the first drawer was opened, the floor panel, which had de-laminated folded up like the bellows of an accordion. The sides and back then came apart in the guys hands.
We laughed, and told him that we have had worse, to save his embarrassment.
We bungee’d the back door and headed back to base.
Once unloaded, the true condition could be seen. The carcass was good, with just a bit of spray paint on the back and side, but all the drawers need new floor panels. The veneer had been removed from the drawer fronts, so how those are finished will be the next decision.
The other unit was a bit basic, a lot of chipboard, which will mean a lot of painting and a low selling price.
Another Lifetime to go
