Three years ago I agreed to reupholster a chair for my sister as a birthday gift.
THREE YEARS AGO!
Yes it has really been that long.
The first year it sat in the basement.
I tried taking some of the fabric off the back and the project seemed a bit above my ability.
So it sat.
About a year later I painted it.
Bad paint made the chair arms and legs sticky.
So it sat.
For another year.
So it sat.
Memorial weekend my sister and I went to a flea market.
Said flea market where the chair was bought.
Three years ago.
As I bought a new/old chair for my daughter's room.
I could feel her eyes boring a hole into the back of my head.
"Yes, I know I still have to do your chair." I told her.
She rolled her eyes.
I called her after the flea market and said I would have it done within two weeks.
I don't think she believed me.
She had hear that story for three years.
Last weekend I repainted it.
No stickiness.
I called her yesterday to tell her I was almost done with it.
She would have it by the weekend.
I called her back a half hour later.
The chair is done!
However, Mr. M. said it looked so nice, maybe it should stay.
FOR ANOTHER THREE YEARS!
So tell me.
What is the longest a project has sat undone?
Now about that chair for my daughter!
