Day 2489 Ear piercing

7th June 2024

There was a full day planned, a frantic exercise in catching up.

I had wanted to complete two dressers, one that had money on it, the other to get some space.

Throughout the week we had accumulated a desk and another dresser, getting the bikes back in at the end of the day is like threading a needle.

We didn’t reach our goal, we lost a couple of days in the week, but using the weekend should put us back on track.

Kelli decided to make change to the small white dresser that hasn’t sold. She felt that a change of handles might do the trick. So with a drill, glue and dowels she plugged the old holes and a blob of Bondo. Hopefully, with painted wooden knobs it should look better.

I started the repair to the dresser that I collected yesterday. A number of the drawer runners were missing, so dragging the saw outside I quickly made some new parts.

We also managed to sell the desk even before we have done any work on it.

There was a moment of drama when a spider ran over Kelli’s foot. The scream that she let out was loud and shrill, almost a 911 call. The windows and doors rattled of the house, my ears bled, and Larry thought his time was up. In terms of frequency, it was up there with the hypersonic,but fortunately it was only a small spider, I can’t imagine what would have happed if it was a big bugger.
