Afternoon Goodwill

[Canuck]

Yesterday afternoon an RN that works with the LOML brought her a vanity drawer that was way beyond repair to ask if I could possibly resurrect it! Evidently, her 18 YO daughter forgot to close the vanity drawer upon leaving and the door caught it.:elvis::elvis:

Poor thing must have been in a big hurry or really angry with someone.

This was all that was left of the drawer when the bag of parrts was dropped off here.....

Those particle board drawer cases really didn't stand a chance.

I did manage to save the drawer front and here is what kept this old retiree out of mischief this afternoon...

I did have to replace the slides. The original was beyond repair.

I was in the same hospital ward about five years ago and all of the nursing staff is great. Maybe this one little bit of goodwill will help to payback that great staff for what they do.

Now, onto projects of a little more challenge and interest.

That is really nice .... you might be asked to do the rest of them. Don't be surprised when they all come in "broken by accident"

Nice work!

 

[LeftyTom]

Good on ya, Wayne :thumbs_up The only thing that would more impress an RN is you rubbing her feet.

 

[Ray Martin]

It just doesn't get better than that... doing what you love for the benefit of another. Nicely done, Wayne.

Nice save. A good heart is a great thing to have and that's what I would do, but I recall an old saying "No good deed goes unpunish". :thumbs_up

Thanks for all of encouraging responses.

The nurse picked up the drawer this afternoon and was thrilled with the results. A Happy Camper!:wsmile:

She did promise that they would be a little more careful of vanity drawers in the future.:wsmile:

Tom,

That got real old pretty quick! I bought her an electric foot massager dohicky from Brookstone about 6 years ago. She swears it works better than I can do.

Not to derail too much, but my wife convinced me to try one of those massive looking ones at some point in time; felt like the darn thing was going to crush my feet.
