Day 1583 Acid trip

11th December Saturday

It was really windy this morning, strong enough to blow over one of the tubs with the bamboo spilling all the stones.

These tubs have withstood all manner of winds during the past year but it chose today to fall over.

Then came the sleet, I was however pleased to see all the leaves covering my front lawn had blown across the road to Larry’s patch.

Kelli continued to work on the mid century dresser, as I coated the top in oxalic acid trying to remove a water mark, it took two applications but I got rid of most of it. The top has to be washed down with water to remove the crystals of oxalic which takes two good wash downs and then it had to dry.

Oxalic is an odd substance it does a great job, but where do the stains go? Anyway I don’t care.

I learnt of it through watching videos of furniture restoration, lots of crusty old men working on old furniture, and I’ve joined the club.
