Neither rain, nor sleet, nor snow . . . . . can keep the team of Paul, Dave, Jeannette and Angie from their appointed duties. We delivered Angie's new cabinet last night. There was a little light rain, but not too bad, really.
So here is the slab of marble that started the whole thing.
Angie found this slab of marble next to her dumpster over a year ago.
Paul used our two-wheel truck to cart the cabinet up three flights of stairs (about 35 steps). Then he installed the back, shelves and finally the marble top (which is removable).
Paul installing shelves. Notice the open spot on top of the cabinet waiting for the marble slab.
Here is the finished product.
That new Rockler rail coping jig I gave Dave for his birthday came in handy constructing these doors. Now that Dave is back working in his shop, I recommend that you all buy stock in Rockler.
Angie and Paul posed for a celebratory photo.
A work of art well worth the wait.
Notice how well the cabinet matches the wood of Angie's apartment floor.
Perfect match. We had no idea.
If you look under the marble slab or on the back of the cabinet, you will find the artist's stamp.
Well done, David R. Young!
Then we had one last chore to complete. Again Paul did most of the heavy lifting. We moved Angie's old desk/pull-out table to her friend Michelle's apartment. I didn't take a photo, but it is a wonderful old blond desk that can be expanded into a table with four leaves. My parents bought it 50 years ago. I inherited it from them, and then I gave it to Angie. Now we are glad that that lovely old desk has found a nice new home.
Now it's time to finish packing and catch a plane from Omaha to Milwaukee for the MKMEA (Midwest Kodaly Music Educators) Conference. Dave and Pita will be home on their own for three nights. By that same token, Linda and I will be on our own in Milwaukee. I suspect that we will all do fine, and maybe have some stories to tell next week.
To all you Wesleyanites . . . Enjoy Fall Break!
Jeannette
