We had to collect a free dresser, I have started to shake at the thought at what we might find.
There it was outside waiting for us. the owners didn’t have the courage to come out and present it to us.
“Welcome to our home, here is the dresser, it’s a family heirloom, built by my grandfather, sorry about the missing drawers and broken rails, got drunk last night”
What was left seemed okay, it had bad paint, but nothing that can’t be fixed with a lot of prayers.
We managed to get it into the truck and headed home.
The dogs were pleased to see us, Kelli has started putting cosy winter scenes on the TV. They have snow falling and fires crackling with cool relaxing sounds, sometimes jazz or lounge music. I would love to see the dogs greet us wearing sunglasses and smoking a cigarette, it’s that kind of vibe.
I started to rebuild the large dresser. I had to fit roller slides instead of the broken ball slides, that was not as easy as I thought, but I resisted rushing and made some jigs for consistency, wow, I’m talking like a professional.
It was fortunate that I had four pairs of the roller slides from a previous piece that we had to scrap, but I had to use two ball slides to complete the job.
