Work bench complete and delivered

It was wet out again when I woke up. By the time S woke up after 9:30, I had already received a buyer’s interest in the white dresser and had confirmed a pick-up plan for tomorrow. I made us coffees and we had bit of a phone peruse before I started working on marketing and we each had another cup. S was on the phone with Enmax again, trying to understand the absurd distribution charges.

I headed to the coffee table and stained it with a coat of walnut followed by espresso while still wet. While the stain was drying, I painted a second coat of paint on the small table. S was out to work on the workbench at 11 and spent the next two hours working on it. I also painted a second coat of paint on the jewelry box.

B was out to feed and drop off Cooper after 1 p.m. She timed it well as it started raining turning to grapple after she left at 1:30 p.m. The rain only lasted for about 30 minutes, which was enough time for us to have lunch. I started writing today’s blog on the island, and S hit big brown with his laptop. He tried to take a nap while I was heading back to the workshop. For the afternoon, I sorted through all the transfers, rice papers, and other excess items I had and decided which ones I would never use. I sorted them and rehung them on the cabinet after it was cleaned. 

S decided against taking a nap and was out around 2:30 PM to finish assembling his workbench. I assisted him in flipping the workbench over so that the bottom shelf could be installed. In an hour, he had it completely screwed together. Then, he brought the skid steer over. I lifted one end of the workbench using the furniture dolly while he used the skid steer forks to lift the other end. We backed the workbench out into the driveway. Whew! Now just to get it to Matt’s shop. Matt has planned to come over around 6 PM to drive the pilot truck.

He even borrowed the old anti fatigue mat to use as kneeling pad

We carried out the saw and the spare board. The old man’s calculations for supplies were quite accurate. The sawdust was swept away, and once he was done, he headed inside to elevate his leg in big brown. I fed the dogs and finished tidying up. Then, I applied a clear coat of paint to the green table and the shelf.

Now, it’s time to prepare a goulash supper. It was almost ready to be eaten when Matt and his youngest son, Charlie, arrived to drive the pilot truck for Sheldon’s workbench delivery. The huge bench was securely strapped on with Charlie in the cab along with Sheldon then they and Matt set off. S returned about half an hour later for us to enjoy our meal.

S washed up dishes while watching his Flames and I was working on blog posts as I am now 3 days behind. I also published the new ecru desk tray tutorial and did the marketing parts of it. He headed to TV to watch on the big screen. I uploading photos and published Tuesday, proof read yesterday and today's blogs. I took a yogurt bowl down and joined him for part of the last period. Sadly they lost. I moved to bed to watch some LIB then when S was up from the highlights we watched some Loot.
