Sticky Loose Cover - Yuk!
210 ViewsMy Dad handed me this bundle of green scrunched up into an M&S carrier bag and a roll of fabric. “Can you do something with that… it’s for a chair”. Well yes I can do something with it but I’d rather have had the chair to work with as opposed to an ancient out of shape and probably shrunk with cleaning old loose cover sticky with jam and other such delights. They can’t do without the chair for some reason. It must be a one chair house. I dont understand people who send stuff to be repaired, remade etc. while it’s that dirty it’s fit to stand up and walk all on it’s own. Do they feel no shame?
I planned to do it today for the forecast said rain and sure enough it’s dull and spitting. Yet here I sit staring at the jammy bundle of rags in the bag with no notion of getting on with it. My brain is rearranging the living room for summer and painting walls. No thoughts of opening the roll and starting to measure. I’ll have to get on with it like it or not. To be collected/delivered tomorrowish with thanks.
Maybe I’ll just nip to the shop first…
… 4 hours later
I have managed to extract old cover from bag and spread it out on bench. I have also managed to buy a new washing machine, new dryer, and arrange to have my kitchen gutted so they’ll fit in there. The thought of having those old poxy cupboards smashed to smithereens and have to pay for replacements was enough to motivate me to work.
Well… just as soon as I drink this coffee…

I just knew you had to smash something. and when you’ve finished, you’ll feel much better.
Congratulations on getting the new washer and dryer! I knew something was about to give in that situation. Will the vendor of the new appliances haul away the old ones? Will it make cooking a cramped business? Wish I could help. I so love tearing up walls if it’s for a good cause! I just started an other bathroom tile job. Didn’t even pick the smallish tiles off, just pryed the drywall sheet off the frame.
Found that they had mold and rot from years of leakage and infiltration. Have to bolster up the framing before sealing it back up.
Hope all is well, and that your knuckles will have time to heal.
What gave you the idea that I could wait for them to deliver let alone haul away!!
