Another day

Brian was keen to start putting the armoire back together. Neither of us had enjoyed having to take it apart, we were slightly worried we could damage it. But we knew it was the only option.

He sanded off the areas where he’d glued, then we took all the bits up the two flights of old wooden stairs, careful not to chip any paint work on the way.

The job of putting it back together then began. We had marked each piece so it was easy to know where they all fitted and which way up they needed to be.

We then decided that we would replace the shelves, as one was split in two and another had bowed slightly. I liked the idea of having new shelves. Unfortunately though Brians wood store didn’t have what we needed, so a trip to our local diy store was in order. ‘I’ll go tomorrow, after our French lesson’ I told Brian. “We’ll just have to wait another day to finish it!”
