3rd February 2022
Another doctors appointment for Kelli, but before that was a visit to Plato’s Closet for her to dispose of four bags of clothes that she no longer needed.
She didn’t get the cash she was expecting, therefore a bit disappointed, but at this time of year retail is a bit slow, of course the snow doesn’t help.
Her time with the doctor was better, he suggested she drop one of her supplements, which is alway a good sign.
Then it was off furniture collecting deep in the south of the town, well it was a long way south.
It was into the flat lands where the snow was drifting across the roads.
The address we wanted was on a farm that was at the end of a very long drive. We missed it the first time and had to go round a very long block to find the entrance.
There were three small pieces, a bench with a disgusting fabric seat, a little side table and a shelf unit with two drawers. These would be ideal for Kelli to work on leaving me to continue on the larger jobs. We decided on the bench and side table, the shelf was not wood, therefore not suitable for refinishing.
I’m getting near completing the refinish project. I’m hoping that will be collected at the week end.
We have a number of finished pieces that haven’t sold yet stacked in the corner of the garage, a little bit concerning, but February is alway a slow month, slower than January, but I’m confident they will be sold soon.
I went on Amazon to but some spray walnut toner, a great product to blend in colours where the finish is a bit blotchy. I found the exact can but the price was quite high. So I went on the web site of the company that manufactured it. and found the exact same can at half it’s price. Happy at my find I set about ordering it only to find the cost of handling and shipping cost much more than the paint itself. That pissed me off, but I went back to Amazon and reluctantly ordered it from them. I hope the stuff will last a long time, it better.
Another Lifetime to go
