30th November 2022
It was a busy day, first we had an appointment with our interior designer to look at corian samples for the work surfaces for our kitchen remodel. I had already gone through this before when I re-did the kitchen in my cottage, but it was something different for Kelli.
We left with a number of samples to check out.
Then it was back to her mothers to off load a furniture piece we had been driving around in the back of the truck for several days. Then off to Hamilton to collect another dresser taking it back to mothers to then exchange for a mid century piece we’ve had there for a few weeks.
We needed to collect it because there was a buyer waiting to snap it up. They were coming to look over the two pieces we now had in the garage.
I went through the options we could offer them, dependent on what they wanted to spend. As it happened, they wanted the full Monty of stripping tops and drawer fronts, re-staining and finishing, to be done by Christmas if possible.
Kelli painted the sofa table frame and I washed of the oxalic acid from the top, the black circle had disappeared, great result.
It was also the end of my sad attempt to grow a beard. I shaved my last one off in 1985, and this time I kept it going for three weeks.
The growth on my chin was white, not grey, it made me look like a hillbilly, or a mountain goat, anyway it was removed, and I’m back to being a refined Englishman.
