I keep thinking I’m going to make little creative projects but I never seem to shake off repairing things.

Currently I have been fixing a garden seat which had a broken slat. The likely culprit is the dog. Then I discovered that it had a rotten back rest. This meant that I had to remake part of the backrest. In reality the repair is worth more than the bench. But management wanted it preserved as it was a gift from our son.

I’m am also fixing an old radiogram so that it can be sold. The problem with this is that the veneer on the cabinet is lifting. It is so damaged that it could probably be thrown out. However it belonged to my inlaws so my wife wants it fixed and sold. Im not even sure that any of the electrics work anymore. The record player hasn’t been used in years and the radio frequencies are no longer in use. I’m not game to plug it in as it might blow a fuse!The unit predates FM radio and we won’t evenmention DAB+.

Then there is a chair waiting renovation , another ready to re-upholster (since 2019) and a dining table that could be refinished for sale. Somewhere in the middle I made a stand for a prot barrel sadly not my port barrel. So it’s all repairs at the moment and we are downsizing.
