(Barely..)
On Friday night armed with nothing more than my tools from the junk drawer and a Mic Ultra Lite I proceeded into battle (er, assembly) of the bed in JuneBug's room. I went in prepared and had read the reviews.. most loved the bed but many had the same two complaints:
1) Missing Parts..
(Nope.. I'm good!)
2) Holes drilled too small so that bolts, screws, etc don't fit making the job take three times longer and beyond frustrating..
BINGO!
My friends, I don't have a cordless drill. DH obviously does but I have no (zero, zip, zilch) desire to go rummaging through his manly garage/barn looking for it. Believe me when I say this is NOT a complaint. If it is taken as such I know darn well that I'll end up with a set for my birthday and really, I'm not down for that... so SHHHH!
Anyway..
Me and my handy dandy Phillips head screwdriver went to town on a gazillion screws and bolts.. that didn't fit.. I used a flat head screwdriver to carve out the metal. Did I mention the gazillion screws and bolts? Ya, my hands were throbbing. At hour number three I was only this far:
I cannot tell a lie and must admit I had a few choice words for Belle and friends by then...
That all being said, it was well worth the hair-greying frustration and inoperative hands because it's all for JuneBug:
:o)
