Bureau now all finished and back in place. I had to get some plywood cut to make a new bottom for the drawer and find a small strip of wood to replace the runner which was missing. The drawer handles and other knobs would not come off so had to spray some gold paint into the lid of the can and paint them with a small brush. It took about four coats. Looks better though I think. Just need to find some nice black and white pictures for the new frames which I had from a charity shop somewhere on my travels last year.
I have started to move some of the stuff from the loft into the shed but to give you an idea of the work required to clear my loft here are a few pictures.....
Mark and Michelle came on Saturday morning to help with the loft. Mark sorted out all the radio controlled stuff and passed it down to me. I swept the dust off with the sweeper and passed it to Michelle who carried it down and stacked it in the hall...and kitchen. Mark then loaded up the car, right to the roof. Most of it is probably no good as it is very old and some is broken but at least it helps to empty the loft and gives Mark a chance to sort through it and decide what to keep. (He has a tip slot booked for tomorrow afternoon!). We then rewarded ourselves with hot chocolate and brownies. Later I sorted out some rubbish for the tip and stacked it in the conservatory.
Sunday was Mothers day and I was invited to dinner with Mark and Michelle. Richard and Debbie had already given me flowers when I saw them last week and a present of two craft sets which I opened on the day.
