A couple arrived at 11.00am to collect the narrow cabinet. We invited them into the house, mainly because the garage was full of stuff and it was cold. They loved the piece, thrust all the money into Kelli’s hands, and I helped them load it into their vehicle. They were an older couple, in the short distance from the house to their truck he told me of all the body parts he’s had replaced, hips, knees, the lot, I asked him if the ankles were next. Either he didn’t hear or understand what I said, but he went on about riding his bike as soon as the weather got better. Meanwhile Kelli was doing a sales pitch to the lady who had mentioned she would like a tall dresser. Quick as a flash the back of our truck was open and showing the dresser we collected yesterday. This would be perfect, so we could have a customer lined up for that one.
The rest of the day was spent sanding tops and drawer fronts, it made a change from sanding chairs, well, not really.
