On the road again, first to pick-up a dresser in Hudsonville and a desk in Allendale.
The dresser had a broken drawer, not a problem, but getting it up a slope and into the truck meant carrying it up backwards, by the time we were at the top my calf muscles were bulging. After a nine minute drive we arrived at an apartment block, the chap met us at the front door. He lived on the third floor, up endless stairs and no lift. I grabbed my bulging calfs and followed the man.
The desk was just inside his flat, just one look told me that it was heavy, I checked it, it was.
I was lucky enough to go backwards down the stairs carrying the full weight of the desk.
It was so good to reach the bottom. As if the truck was perfectly designed, both the dresser and desk fitted side by side with very little space left. With that we bade farewell to the chap and headed home.
I had a table and two bench seats to finish, Kelli pulled out the dresser to make the repairs to the broken drawer. A drop of carpenters glue and a few clamps did the job.
It was warm in the sun just right to quickly dry the polyurethane.
We built up the small bench with just the holes to fill tomorrow, then it was a walk with the hounds around the block.
