Sloppy Workmanship

One of Bly’s media storage thingys got broke on the move.  Today while looking for…rugs, that was it, she needed rugs for her bathroom…in looking for rugs, we stumbled across a really great shelving unit, black and maple and on a swivel.  Very cool.  And on clearance.  She got two.

We spent hours today working on the first one, and we didn’t get it done.  None of the pre-drilled holes are straight.  So we were fighting to get the sixteen screws to go in straight, to hold what they need to hold so the whole damn thing didn’t fall apart…and we gave up.  I’m impressed, actually.  Separately we’re stubborn to the point of obstinacy (some might say idiocy) but together we were able to reach the reasonable conclusion that we were tired, frustrated, and beginning to consider adding a sledgehammer to the toolkit, so we gave it up for the night.

Tomorrow that thing is going to go together.
