New Feet for the Dumpster Desk

Repairing the dumpster desk that M. and I brought home a few weeks ago is going more slowly than I hoped. At first glance, we knew it was going to need a lot of work to bring it back to life. The veneer was chipped, the paint was peeling, and previous repairs were well-intentioned but…

Three weeks ago, a couple of days into self-isolation, there was a funny meme going around about how we should all stop mopping and shining our floors because that was a "day 15 of quarantine task." It was too soon for such a painstaking chore. Now that about twenty days have passed, it does feel…
