After another difficult night we both tried to make the best of a beautiful day.
Kelli had found a small desk for sale that we could convert to side tables. So we drove out into the Michigan wilderness to find the place.
When we got there the barn was full of stuff including some Action Office and Steelcase panels stacked on the floor. The desk itself was okay, a little beaten around the edges,but nothing we hadn’t seen before.
We heard back from Lakeside Surfaces about our worktops, they proposed to remove everything and return it to the factory for rework for six hundred bucks. That went down like a fart in church with Kelli, I was not a fan either. That would mean losing the sink and tap for about three weeks, not to mention the possible damage to the wall ripping it out.
So we went back to Stacy to find a local person who could make the modifications on site.
In the meantime I started sealing the beech worktop with the first of many coats of wax oil.
It was a great afternoon for floating in the pool, the water was warm, so no instant heart attack getting in to it.
We had delivery of a package of live ladybirds.
These are an attempt to rid us of aphids that have infested the cherry tree. Apparently ladybirds feed on them, I found that I could get them on Amazon, so I thought I’d give it a try.
I opened the box and inside was a pouch of the little beauties. We waited until dusk and released than at the base of the tree.
It was fascinating to watch them scurry about climbing anything they could, hopefully they would find their way to where the aphids are.
