Is there anything else that can rock a relationship to the very core more than do-it-yourself furniture? I think not.
So on this…a Friday that sees me hangin’ with my son for the weekend…I’m going to sit back and reflect on putting together the most atrociously difficult piece of furniture I’ve ever put together.
I’m going to sit back and wonder just how I ended up finishing it without (a) seriously injuring myself, (b) seriously putting it together wrong, (c) seriously getting into an argument of some kind with Sunshine (over nothing, really), and (d) seriously losing my ever-loving mind.
This thing SUCKED putting together. But now it’s done.
I shall stand back and marvel at how awesome I am.

That…is an awesome bookcase! Congrats! I hate putting furniture together and I usually start dropping F-bombs as soon as it’s out of the box, I then get frustrated and call someone to put the rest together. AND…I never read the instructions.
Have fun putting all kinds of neato things on it!!

I’m usually pretty good at DIY furniture, but this thing was a BEAST to finish. I was cursing…sweating…cursing some more. It was brutal.

Dude, you know what rocks even more than this bookcase? You…for putting it together without putting your fist through the wall.
LOVE YOU!!

I considered it, though.

Ha! Looks so simple – yet those are usually the hardest to put together!! My work desk? Took us FOUR HOURS to put together. M was the most patient man in the world!

My wife gets out of sight whenever i start working on something. She knows by experience how intense i could become.
Nice work man! I am already thinking of a project that me and my 5yr old kid could work on!

The youngest daughter offered her assistance, but this was just so large a project she just couldn’t help in any way.
