A Hard Day's Work
I have been diligently working at the Board of Education for the last few months and have fully enjoyed the people I have met. This week I am working at the central office and am thankful that if I have to work, I get to work with such fun people. :)
One of my newest projects is learning to refinish furniture. My grandma left me a hutch that had belonged to her and my papa when they were first married. It definitely needs some work so my friend David volunteered to help out. He is a bit of a pro so I volunteered cooking as a trade off for the help. I'm not sure my labor is a fair trade off since we put in about six hours on ONE side Sunday!!! I thought this would be a two day project, but it turns out to be much longer. Hopefully, I know enough good recipes to make his time worthwhile.
I thought my sister and cousins would be interested in seeing the beginning pics and the part where my grandma wrote on it. "For Lou B.". The work was much more time consuming than I imagined, but I put in some good labor. Sorry I have not updated in awhile. I will try and post more soon.

Looking good!! I must ask why David has a Dora magical castle box in his garage though???? May be a missing piece Maggie needs for her set?? :)
After looking at the "for Lou" in the basement for several years... I have to say. Is it always worth glossing over? Probably too late... Good luck with the work. Refinishing is quite a project. If you need tools.. Call Uncle Frank. I'm sure he'd let you use anything you need.
