I had wanted to do this for awhile, but I wanted my long arm set up at the same time. Because of all sorts of things like my vision and balancing marital harmony, it remains needing to be assembled. It is clear to me that I am just going to have to do this first step which is completely within my ability. It is a big heavy, solid, welded frame with hydraulic height lifts. Have to reassemble the hydraulic bits to the sides -- is mostly some screws and would be easier with two people, and the sides will be a bit cumbersome to drag/carry, but still doable. Once it is there with it's feet up in the air, we need at least a third person to help pick it up. A big anyway... at this point
The opportunity has come up and I am trying to carpe diem and all that with the ladies coming over. First picture are the things I know I can easily give away. One of my storage sized totes of Christmas fabrics, a large tote of assorted fabrics. The dark tote is just being used as a table -- but it used to be full of some of my dishes.
I did get my $20 church garage sale hutch cleaned up and upstairs. My old hutch was more like 6 feet wide and at least that tall. This is 3 x 5 feet. The dishes aren't fully in place yet but they all fit. Most of the more usable dishes are in the kitchen, these are mostly more display/special occasion dishes. The guest bedroom will be pretty full of oak furniture when done.
