3rd March 2024
It was a mad rush to get things ready for Kelli to carry on to finish, but we did get one complete and posted
.
This was the piece we found at the side of the road in Grand Rapids that had two drawers missing and one severely damaged. After a massive amount of work, it didn’t turn out too bad.
There was another dresser that needed two doors fitted, in itself a simple job, but nothing is that straightforward. Although the door were made square, the carcass was not, but the hinges were adjustable.
The temperature was around sixty degrees Fahrenheit, so just my shirt today.
Once the storage room was cleared I was able to get to my case, so that I could start my packing.
We decided to move all the pieces that have been sold, but stored in our room, out into the garage. This should make it easier to move when it’s time for them to be collected or delivered. The timing is not ideal, we did try to get things done before I left, but that didn’t happen.
Kelli is resourceful and she will get someone to help her.
It was a rush, I certainly felt it by the time all the jobs were completed.
I wanted to take very little clothes with me this time, because I still have stuff to bring back.
I had problems checking in on line, especially when I had to fill in my Green Card details.
Of course being America it has to be difficult.
I had to add my card number, which I thought was on the front of the card. After trying for half an hour, and many many times adding the same information, I had to take a break, it made no sense. I went on line to check my understanding and discovered that the number was amongst a seventy digit number on the back, but when I tried that it still didn’t work.
Out of desperation I took my American phone and did the check out procedure on that, and it worked!
There must be some conspiracy about using iPhones to check in, I’ve never had that problem before, I guess I will have to sort it out when I want to go back.
Another Lifetime to go
