We drove to Hudsonville to pick up a free dresser. I think we would go to Timbuktu if there was something for nothing, but the new owner of the house just wanted to get rid of it as it was left in the house. It had a solid maple top with a few scratches but otherwise it was solid and the drawers were in good condition.
Once we were back I attacked the top of the white dresser with my scraper. I fitted a new blade,and the old paint finish came off easily. As the piece was manufactured in Indonesia the timber, although solid was not a timber I could recognise, but once sanded it will be quite beautiful.
Whilst I was in the scraping mood, I did the new dresser as well.
While I was engulfed in shavings Kelli managed to get a sale of the dresser she repainted yesterday, the only issues we had to drive to Zeeland to meet up with the buyer. By that time Kelli was worn out, so it was down to me to do the deed. I set the GPS and headed out into Gods country. The destination was the car park of a Burger King, the buyers liked what they saw and the deal was done and dusted.
This clinched the first sale of the month, but with two other pieces in progress along with a bench, it’s going to be a busy week ahead.
There was a bit more traffic on the roads probably because I was hitting the going home rush hour, or maybe there were more visitors arriving in the town because…… next week it’s,… Tulip time. When people travel from all over to see the flower displays.
I was travelling behind a vehicle that had a bike rack that extended out passed the back of the rear bumper, but because there were no bicycles strapped to it, it was almost impossible to see. These things should have reflectors or something, if I hadn’t been observant I could easily have hit it.
Kermit, previously known as Frog, is getting a lot of attention, it was basking on a rock, taking full advantage of the sun. It seems to be making itself at home, and will soon get its own Amazon deliveries.
