One of the frustrations with heavy furniture or similar objects that aren't easy to throw in the back of the car and take home after you've purchase them is the waiting and waiting before you see your prized purchase.''
We were delighted to see the delivery truck pull up on time, especially because someone has taken out the street sign at the entrance to our street. That makes it really easy to miss us. Fortunately, the delivery people have a nice GPS system.
Although the two men were being paid to deliver and set up the dining set, Carolyn just couldn't sit still. She wanted to be a part of the operation so bad that she picked up a chair or three.
Putting the table back together caused Carolyn the same angst so as soon as sone of the guys pulled out his screwdriver, Carolyn was helping him line up the bolts with the legs.
I'll admit I had some desire to pitch in since it looked like something I could do. On the other hand, keeping a blog up to date is also something to do.
With the legs in place, the table is turned back over, checked for a solid fit, then pulled open to put in the two leaves.
Next came the buffet and the hutch. We were thrilled that it fit on the partial wall so we didn't have to move the large mirror that Marsha Miles gave ue.

It looks great! That is precisely the wall I was thinking of for the hutch.
ReplyDeleteso who got the old table and uncomfortable chairs?
ReplyDeleteThe old table (which is really just two 4 x 4 conference room tables) has been taken apart and stored in the "Grandma's Room". We might move two of the chairs to the living room to replace some rather "iffy" chairs. The rest are up for grabs. We'd like to see them go for a good use.
