I’m bushed! To get ready for men from shop to move bedroom furniture I trotted all over the house, removing drawers, piled up boxes of papers, small items etc. Men came at 3:15 and moved my double bed and dresser to guest room, took down antique bed and stored in attic- side rail, hardware broken, moved Empire Chest from living room to my room, set up Jenny Lind 3/4 bed and found springs and mattress from other antique bed wouldn’t fit it.
