Easy Assembly! Snap on fasteners!
and a 100 screws and a few bolts, and oh boy :bounce:

:eyes:

putting together a small TV/DVD player stand has turned into an afternoon adventure.

I even contemplated having it done in an hour :grr: No such luck.

At this point. I've got everything but the finishing hardware.

I've got other things to do, like post on DU for crap's sake :P

So here I am :woohoo:

Did I miss anything?????


:grouphug:

:hi:

1. Ah, I remember those Christmas Eves
Putting together all the "easily assembled" items we'd bought for the kids. :rofl:

You know, its the fault of the manufacturers, too - I used to work as a snowmobile mechanic and I can honestly say that its easier to install a reverse kit in a snowmobile than it is to put together a kids' swingset. :grr:

Glad you survived it! :hi:

2. Way back when I was REALLY dumb? A newlywed?
We invited some folks over for burgers.
THEN (about 2 hours before everyone was coming over) I went out and bought a grill.
This would be about 1969.
Got it a Western Auto.
It came in a very flat box.

Four hours, a brazillion sheet metal screws, and 4 band-aids later we were all set.
