I have had enough of the Michigan winter.
Today is dull with rain and we’re supposed to drive to Hudsonville to collect a free dresser, or possibly two.
The drive was unpleasant, the constant rain on the windscreen drowned out the voice on the GPS, but we found the place and reversed right up to the garage. There were the two pieces waiting, I knew instantly that we wouldn’t get them both into the truck. We have managed to load a number of pieces before, but these were quite large.
We loaded the long dresser and attempted to fit the other but there was no chance. We agreed to return tomorrow to collect the other one.
Once we were back home we offloaded it and it wasn’t a bad piece. Once the handles are replaced, and the top stripped and refinished it will be unrecognisable.
Kelli had a few things to paint, there were the two side tables that the customer wanted white, not the white we painted the other piece she bought, this had to be whiter.
This meant a trip to the local paint specialist to buy a “white” paint.
The assistant helped to narrow down the selection from Chantilly Lace, rabid foam and zombie puss, finally settling on “white” from the uninspired range.
Before we closed down for the night, I applied another coat of poly on the side table tops, then it was into my comfy clothes and a restful evening.
