Day 1612 Shovel and strife

9th January 2022

We finished the two matching side tables. Kelli picked out some unique handles for them which made them look so different.

We carried them into the house to take pictures. At this time they didn’t have back panels, I guessed that I would have time to cut one before they were sold, fortunately I had the material to make them.

There are a few pieces in progress, one is the free roadside beast that has been transformed. The top has been stained black, and will take another three days to finish.

I had to dig another path through the snow to reach the compost bin, there was quite a backlog of stuff waiting in the kitchen to get deposited. It also provided the dogs with more places to piss and poo, I’m really excited about that.

I set out with my snowplough style shovel trying to make an impact in the drift. It is metal, and with snow frozen to it, it’s heavy and awkward, I was puffing and wheezing like an old git. I laughed when I realised that was exactly what I am.
