The front and back garden was completely clear of snow, even the compacted stuff by the road had gone. The only snow left in the area was the steep bank that a guy across the road had made into a toboggan run from his porch to their driveway. That is due to last until June.
Imagine the horror when I looked out of the bedroom window to see more bloody white stuff, an inch all over the freshly cleaned deck, damn you snow maker!
We had to deliver the large buffet to an address in West Olive, about fifteen miles away. Fortunately we had loaded it into the truck yesterday, good thinking on our behalf.
When we got there it was in a trailer park, our favourite places, because they are laid out like a maze, and the numbers don’t make sense.
It was amazing, it was be easy to find.
Getting it into the place was a challenge, the piece was heavy, and the doorway was narrow. I find it hard to climb steps backwards, because of my old knees, but somehow I found the strength to do it. For a mobile home it was quite deep, and of course it had to go right down the far end.
I stopped off at Menards to purchase some timber for a job I’ve been commissioned to make, not a big job, but it’s actually making something.
Around four in the afternoon we had someone come to look at the monolith. A lady and her daughter looked over it, opening all the drawers, finally she asked if we would take a lower figure, at this stage we might have paid her to take it, but instead we agreed on the lower figure, and it was collected later by her husband.
Monolith gone, thank heavens, good riddance.
We finished the mid century dresser and it looked amazing. Hopefully we can get a good price for this, we need to make up for some of the dogs we’ve sold so far this month.
