7th June 2025
We had our first bicycle ride of the summer, not a long one, a circular route, taking in all the colourful gardens looking for inspiration.
Then we threw ourselves into the furniture.
Kelli worked on the larger maple dresser of the matched pair. It was important to get it posted because the weekend is the time when eyes are on the new postings.
I started painting the kitchen island components.
It was a hot day, a good opportunity for my legs to get some colour. The paint was drying quickly, so I was working fast to get decent coverage.
Kelli also wanted the pool pulled out of hibernation. This will be the last time we do this. It has done a good job, but I think there are small leaks that are difficult to find.
The hardest job is getting the wrinkles out of the bottom of the pool. It gets worse as it fills with water. I was getting frustrated, I was trying to work the wrinkles round, but the weight of the water was making it difficult. There was no option but to pump some of the water out, and start again. Now I had to find the pump and a hose to connect to it.
Eventually I was able to remove quite a bit, making it much easier to flatten the floor out.
Now it was the time consuming time to fill it up.
Whilst that was going on, we took pictures of the two dressers. These are heavy pieces but they looked great, and you could see, and appreciate the grain.
They were posted, and within hours we had three people on it, so hopefully they will be collected tomorrow.
