Day 1723 Beds of all kinds

30th April 2022

I had every intention to work on the front garden patch that will be transformed into a wild flower paradise, well anytime will be better.

I have tried to reseed it several times but the ground is not good, and there is shade from a tree.

Whilst I had the ground muncher I went over this area, but now I had to remove all the chunks of weeds, moss and grass.

But, we had to drive to Zeeland to collect three raised bed frames. For what I paid I could not have bought the material and the time to make them myself.

Then the rain came, with all the exposed dirt in the back garden I was dreading letting the dogs out and getting mud everywhere, so I quickly rigged up some barricades out of anything I could find. That confused the little buggers, they just stared across land they would normally chase squirrels.

We got on with some work. Kelli coated the tops for the two side tables, whilst I continued to sand the top for the Red Devil.

Then we both turned our attention to stripping the red monster. Kelli with her heat gun and I with my scraper. Soon the floor was covered in red bits, it looked like a murder scene.

Later in the afternoon a truck turned up with a huge covered trailer in tow.

The buyer of the dresser had come to collect and deliver to us the queen size bed frame that they wanted stripped, stained and refinished.

Now the garage is totally full, and I’m starting to freak myself out.
