coffee burst

Not sure if it was the coffee I had or the good nights sleep but today was a productive day. There was a brief rain last night that amounted to about a tablespoon ;( After Britt was off I got busy in the garage scrubbing the custom dresser after removing hardware, sanding and repairing. While it dried I did my dreaded incorporation books but luckily since I have not worked there was only about 6 entries for the year. It did require a call to accountants to get a refresher on the program quick though. Of course this was done on basement computer which lead to computer updates and changes and so forth which took another hour.

Time to head out into the 24 degree sunshine now out. I watered the garden and flower beds, planted the last of the tomatoes (Thanks again Craig) and of course some poop scooping. Back inside I got busy painting the dresser which lead to distressing and even waxing portions. Around 6 loud booms of thunder had Coco crapping bricks so she had to come out to the garage where Diego and I were after nearly digging her way thru the steel door. By 6:30 the rain finally came but ended shortly after. There was just enough to almost cover the dust.

 all sanded/scrubbed ready to go

funny how it discolors over time at different rates

drawer on left has been distressed, right is one coat paint

she would like to keep top 2 drawers original, dark and clear wax has been added and some highlighting.. below I polished the brass.. what do you think? keep or go dark?

Shelby stopped to pick up her grad gift and we had a short visit before I got back to work. It was not long and Brit was home from work just after 8. She fed the horses the beet pulp I had made after giving Bird a nice work out now that the sun was back out. I finished up the dresser for the night and wrote you this update ;)
