Day 1910 Lending a hand

5th November 2022

After a sleepless night, I wanted to move alone the current projects in the garage. There was the small side table commission that needed more finish adding, but we had agreed to help with the decorations of Greer and Dylan new home in Allandale.

First we had to deliver a dresser in an address in Coopersville. Fortunately it was in the right direction so we did that first. When we finally got to started on the decorations the first decision was to remove the carpet in Dylan’s office. I think it’s always a good thing to get rid of someone else’s stink, so spent most of the time pulling up the carpet, and removing the gripper. There was evidence of previous carpets fitted by the number of staples fired into the floor. That took forever because they only had a screwdriver and a pair of wire snips to do the job. Soon there was soon a pile of old staples sitting on top of the underfelt. Of course that was the next task. A shitty underfelt held down by five thousand staples all of its own, oh yes I could hardly wait.

We stayed working as long as we could, Kelli helping with the painting, and I on my knee extracting pointed metal things.
