There was an early morning changeover of dressers. One newly painted, and one poorly painted example that we have to turn into a masterpiece.
It’s funny what people put up with, this one had broken trim all over it. There is nothing worse than trying to do a decent job with gaps and missing bits.
Straight away we contacted the customer asking if they wanted it repaired, and gave them a quote to do it.
The missing trim was all the same on the cabinet, but slightly different on one drawer.
My first reaction was to remove the trim, but Kelli didn’t think that was a good idea. Next plan was to remove one piece of trim and use it to repair all the other areas, then all I would need to do is replicate one piece, a brilliant idea, unfortunately it wasn’t mine. I reminded my wife that I couldn’t think of all the great ideas all of the time, so I gave her a chance to shine,
I was able to repair two drawers for the Jackson Pollock dresser, although it’s not a Pollock any more, that’s all been swept up and thrown in the bin.
I made two doors for another dresser, I was on a roll. Kelli stripped the paint off the top, it was a large area which took her quite a while, a fitting reward for having a good idea.
It was still bloody cold, we have to endure this until next week when the temperature will rise ten degrees, which will be slightly more pleasant.
