22 Hour Flip ⏰

 So my Megado 110 looked like this yesterday morning at 9:30 am

Ready for the final parts to come off and for that I needed help.

What I had managed by myself....  

The box contains small wooden parts and bags of nuts and bolts hardware in a separate box. The bench ultimately came apart too.

The dobby  was wrapped in bubble wrap, then into a box and surrounded by towels.

The new owner, Jessica, came at 10 am yesterday and the loom was hustled out the door to a truck with a sliding canopy cover. They had a drive down island, a ferry ride and another long drive to get home. The Summit on the Connector between Merritt and Kelowna had the first snowfall of the season too.    They likely got home last night about 10 pm or 11 pm.

Then at noon today, 22 hours from the first picture, I saw this:   😳

Apart from tweaking the dobby, she's ready to thread!    We are apparently very keen and very excited..... and didn't sleep much last night.     The loom looks great there and will be making new cloth  probably by the end of the day. 

Meanwhile, here : I had a large empty spot and so got it all vacuumed thoroughly but there's no disguising where the loom sat for 9 years.    I moved a few things around to make it look and feel less empty.  So here's the studio view as of today.

You can see her 'foot prints" in the carpet pile.

Just me and the new kid now with her view of the garden. I'm leaving her here and thinking about what's next for the space.  There's no hurry....  

Today is Canadian Thanksgiving and I'm wishing all my fellow Canadians well as they gather for a meal.
