We had a good look at the free dresser that we picked up on Sunday, and this might be the piece that will defeat us. If it had been on the side of the road we would have left it there. There are no redeeming features at all, the drawers are cardboard, and the fronts look like hardboard. This would win the prize for the biggest piece of crap ever.
There was another dresser that we were due to collect, but when we got to the house the dresser was in the front porch. Negotiating the snow and ice on the path, we climbed the steps and opened the screen door. We were hit with a waft of stale cigarette smoke, and on a chair was an ashtray that had a hundred stubs sticking up. We turned around and left, it is difficult to get rid of the smell that gets into the furniture, it was not worth the hassle.
We met up with our friends Mike and Lesley for lunch at New Holland. She recently had knee replacement surgery and was in a little discomfort due to the cold weather.
I can’t imagine how it must feel to have metal parts in such a key part of the body. Mike was explaining to me what the procedure was, I didn’t hear the end as I had passed out.
Back in the garage the children’s kitchen was close to completion, that has taken way more time than we had anticipated, but it’s looking okay.
