We had to deliver a dresser that had been purchased a week ago. The elderly couple didn’t have the strength or the vehicle to handle the piece. We not only delivered, but also carried it through the maze of their house.
The husband tried to offer some assistance only to be reminded by his wife that he had a bad back. After some careful manipulation we placed it into the spare bedroom. I had the impression that the husband was not keen on getting more furniture. There had been talk about us painting a bookcase for her, but that quickly changed to “ Would you like this to take away and sell?” When we offered to paint it for them, he intervened saying that they had too much furniture all ready.
We felt obliged to take it, it wasn’t that good quality, but with a splash of paint and some shelves it could be okay.
So we loaded it into the truck and headed off to the other side of town to collect another piece. This was also quite ordinary but will be transformed into something better.
We finished off the two dressers in the garage, and took pictures and Kelli posted them on Marketplace.
I treated the front lawn with an organic fertiliser as part of the treatment program I joined, I must say I’m not that impressed with the system, but I’ll give it a couple of years and see what happens.
