Day 1885 Money for everything

11th October 2022

The long dresser is now finished. Kelli painted it in a very pale blue that I bought from the bargain shelf at Menards. These are paints that get mixed for a customer who then decides it’s wrong, and they return it.

They charge nine bucks for a gallon which is a great price. We scour the shelves most time we go there, often there are colours that no sensible person would chose, not even us.

We also had to go to the north side to collect some free stuff.

The person had three dressers to dispose of, two of them had badly blistered tops that we gave a wide birth, choosing one that might be okay, although heavy was made from particle board. This will either work or get put on the bonfire.

A lady came to pick up a long candle holder, well it was a long piece of four by four with a load of holes in it. I never thought we would sell the thing, but I should never underestimate my wife’s ability to make money from nothing.
