Day 1630 Tink! That awful sound

27th January 2022

There was a final push to get the cabinet with the glass doors finished.

I reassembled the glass panels and cut the quadrant to hold it all together. I then handed it over to Kelli to paint whilst I fitted the back panel and top.

Once the glass had dried I tackled fitting the doors. That is when disaster struck, I happened to notice a small crack in the glass adjacent to where the nail holding the quadrant on was positioned. Needless to day I uttered some expletives, annoyed at myself for letting that happen, now I have to replace the panel.

I carried on and fitted the doors, for once they went okay, and finally it was complete, finished in a summer beach inspired colour, just right for someone’s holiday cottage.

We carried it into the house and took pictures then back out again for me to get the old glass out.

We went out to collect a headboard that Kelli wants to match with the desk pedestal that we are working on, fortunately it was very close and didn’t take very long.

It was twice as warm as it was yesterday, but bearing in mind it was 9 degrees F it was still bloody cold.
