Flat Pack Advice

[gness]

Today has not gone as planned and I may be about to make it worse.
The utility room of my new house opens on to lovely countryside. The weather recently made me think it would be nice to have breakfast there whilst ABing so I bought a small table and two chairs; my first flat pack. I need advice.
At what point should I:

A. Start to swear
B. Start to drink
C. Give up.

TIA.

In order, B, A and then C.

Bottle open tonyav

[tonyav]

Good man, you know it makes sense.

[shooty]

B, B, B, B and then B
When you eventually run out of drink, that is when A comes in.
I hope this will help : )

Never been called good man before. Knew my day wasn`t going well. Note to self......get a better razor.

Sorry about the good man coment gness, just clicked on your profile and i can now see that you are a Ladeeee.

Its as straight forward as 231 or is it 132 this last while the buyer is given extra parts so dont worry if you have wee bit left over

[gness]

Thank you shooty. So A starts around November. I can live with that.

I love making flat pack stuff! Super easy as long as you follow the instructions :-)

A, B, C, then D, build a bonfire. ☺

Ladeee may just be stretching it a bit.
I can make a mobile with the left over bits.
My daughter too but she is 200 miles away in Devon. After all I did for her!

Stopped following instructions the day my Ma did the sex talk.
Bonfire? Potatoes..Chestnuts...mmmmmmmm

All things being equal, follow the rule that if it's not wobbly but you still have a few bits left over, don't worry about it.

C before you start.

I used to do that, but then I did this:

A) Open box, make tea, read instructions front to back, identify all tools needed and get same before commencement.
B) Identify all pieces as per instructions. - More tea.
C) Put all screws, nails etc on a tray put all same screws, nails etc in groups together - At this point tea is good.
D) Realise it is going to take longer than expected.
E) Begin - Taking tea every hour.
