Chapter 2 of my new Wednesday Brief's story is now on line. You can read it by clicking here.
If you have just come across my blog and would like to read the entire story, you can click here to get to the Wednesday briefs page.
This week I used the prompt “I may love you, but you can damn well pick up your own dirty underwear”
Here's a sneak peek at what you'll find in chapter 2:
In practically
no time at all Ethan had the estimates ready. He called the client and gave
them both estimates. When asked which option would be better, he responded,
“The wood is in really good shape. It’s solid wood, not that veneer-covered
pressboard crap. I really don’t think that a complete rebuild is necessary. All
it really needs is sanding down and refinishing. I like to give my customers
the option of restoration or a complete rebuild.
“Some pieces of
furniture that have come through here needed to be rebuilt from scratch. This
is not one of those cases. Okay. Restoration it is. It will take a couple of
weeks, no more. The trickiest part is going to find a wood stain that matches
the current stain. Use a different stain? Yeah I can do that. I tell you what.
Why don’t you come by and take a look at the different stains I have here. If
you don’t like any of them, I have samples of the other available stains. I
only keep the most popular ones here. Okay, great. I’ll get started sanding it
down right away. Bye, now.”
He turned to
Patrick, who was staring at him, mouth agape. “Is that all you have to do to
make it look like new? Sand it down and put new stain on it?”
