Kelli has a great knack of finding stuff. Yes, she searched out the furniture, and often that leads to something else.
Recently we picked up an old desk from a house quite close. There were also various terracotta flower pots that she also grabbed.
In the various messages from the house owner we learned that there was a whole lot more things he was planning to offer us.
Well that happened today. A message came through that an old tool chest and a lot of timber was ready for us to collect. So once breakfast was over we set out on a new adventure.
We arrived to find a long bench at the end of the garden with all kinds of items stacked on it. there were a few eight foot lengths of six by twos. They went straight in the back of the truck,along with some planks of straight grain pine. The power came out to greet us and invited into his garage to view the tool box and a stack more of timber.
The tool box was old, probably made by a woodworker at the start of their career, it was solid, and heavy even without any tools in it. I don’t know how it could have been lifted by a single person once it was fully loaded.
I was not going to turn down the timber, it was old, good quality material that today costs a bomb. I have enough to fulfil all the furniture I still want to build, now I have no excuse not to start it, but hang on, I have furniture to repair.
