HOME/DiY: New Chest o’Drawers

Ta-dah!

Antonio helped me shift the core units of this up to our room. We only just managed to squeeze them through the choke-point, at the top of the stairs. Phew!

The day before I’d brought all the drawers up. Today I had to single-handedly lift and manhandle the top part onto the bottom section. Wow! That was hard work. I’m still sweating, now.

Before.

This whole corner of the room now needs re-working. And obviously there are other drawe units, now displaced. Where do they go? I do have a few ideas…

Post chest re-arranging carnage.

But I have a delivery shift to do first. And I’ll need some lunch n’all. So the tidying and rearranging – I’ll do a little bit now – will, for the most part, have to wait until later.

FOOTNOTE:

Gluing up a split.

The lower part of the main body of the chest of drawers needed gluing. There was a big split. In the pic below you can see the ‘fault line’, after the glue up.

Glued up.

And here’s a pic of Chester, the same day. Being totally adorable.
