When it breaks and it's too late? And in your case, the slant desk with the broken hinge and drawers that are too hard to open...well, it's an aggravation and every time you go to use it, you get ticked.<br /><br />I guess when you're caring for someone who is elderly or sick, these projects just have to take a backseat, you can't afford the distraction, it's too risky---but they don't go away either. They are always there, waiting for the day we have time for them.Gail, in northern Californianoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823162730236792476.post-50075758204578632412014-04-19T20:21:12.660-04:002014-04-19T20:21:12.660-04:00Rosemary,

Our minds are in the same place. My tall case clock has a broken weight line and my slant front desk has a broken hinge and drawers that are too hard to open. I want everything in working order again. <br />I hope you have a Happy Easter!!!<br />xo, RosemaryContent in a Cottagehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10075511188721176895noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7823162730236792476.post-70454197169385897902014-04-19T10:53:46.800-04:002014-04-19T10:53:46.800-04:00I know what you mean, Rosemary. I finally called ...I know what you mean, Rosemary. I finally called a young man who restores furniture. I have a beautiful dining room set that was a wedding gift to my grandmother. It has six side chairs and two end captain chairs, each one intricately carved and mellowed with age to a lovely patina. They are all doweled and glued together, no nails. He brought back the side chairs yesterday and took the captain chairs to finish the job. He also gave me the names of men who carry upholstery fabric and do upholstery.<br /><br />Do you know how long I've wanted to get this done? YEARS! I didn't want the chairs refinished; I simply wanted to protect them before someone sat down and broke one. They no longer squeak. And they just feel sturdy.Gail, in northern Californianoreply@blogger.com
