28th April Thursday
There was a constant “Beep beep” all day from a house down the road. They were having some landscaping done, but the small digger just made this annoying noise. Normally it only sounds when it goes in reverse, but this did it in all directions.
Fortunately we had to go to Goodwill, they had moved premises, and this was the grand opening day. The car park was full, Holland folk love an event.. They would attend the opening of a crisp packet if they could get any crumbs.
I was disappointed, they didn’t have any furniture, this was the main reason for going. That didn’t stop people from filling their carts to the brim with every piece of tat available.
We left there with a few highly coloured flower pots heading towards the real reason for going out, collecting a dresser.
We pulled up at this house in a tasteful area, and I saw a bright red painted piece of furniture appearing to glow in the dull light of the garage.
Yes, it was bright, but the design was pleasant, that with extensive sanding it could be a lot less red.
A Young lad seemed to be in charge of the sale, he was also selling a classical guitar that Kelli was keen to learn, but that was not red.
We struck a deal and loaded the dresser into the back of the truck and drove back to the wonderful sound of “Beep bloody beep”
There were plenty of things to get on with, Kelli finished a small side table, and I did a bit of repair to the two pedestals from the desk we got yesterday.
I had to do a repair to the screen door that separates the garage from the entry way.
Over the winter, the joints sagged so it didn’t fit in the opening, that was annoying, so I had taken it off a day or so before, but today I knocked it apart and rebuilt it adding adhesive to all the joints and clamping it up.
Another Lifetime to go
