Day 2791 Just buy the damn thing!

6th April 2025

We have potential interest in two of the pieces in the garage, one we have just finished and one that is in progress.

The first priority of the day was to finish the dresser. I gave it another coat of finish, giving it plenty of time for it to dry.

We had to go out, back to Goodwill for Kelli to return things she had bought yesterday. Furniture has been a bit scarce recently, even things on Marketplace have been forthcoming. It doesn’t help that sellers take forever to get back to us, especially when they often state on their posting that they want it gone.

We had our ice cream party at Kelli’s mums.

Matt has recently got into painting miniature figures, and even started selling them. These are finely detailed pieces that obviously have a following, so he has found a good selling opportunity.

We had to leave early because we had a lady who lives just down the road, coming to look at the two pieces.

We managed to fit the drawers with the knobs just as she arrived, and the piece looked good.

There was a lot of interest in the dresser, because it was something that her daughter was looking for. However she herself was more interested in the large larder unit. We talked about colours and she paid us in full to complete it. The dresser, however, was still in limbo. 

Not convinced that her daughter would buy it, we posted it on Marketplace, if they do want it they had better decide quick.
