A trip out to deliver a dresser in Zeeland, and then on to collect a desk from Grand Rapids was the order of the day.
Now there are some beautiful areas of the city, many old factory buildings have been tastefully renovated and are jewels sitting in amongst the glass and steel landscape of modern GR.
Then there are the places we buy stuff from.
These areas I insist on leaving the engine running just in case.
The desk was sitting on the back porch, it didn’t look too bad, from a distance, but it had seen better days when I loaded it into the truck. I never understand how furniture can get in that condition. The conclusion I have come to is, they are often used to barricade the front door, or used as a battering ram.
On the journey back I was trying to figure out how I can repair the fluted detail.
I took the desk apart as soon as we got back, as we have a potential buyer lined up I wanted to make a start.
Once the pedestals were separated there were pieces of the fluted detail left over, so I should be able to insert pieces into the damaged areas, a great relief.
