Today Graem is at daycare and I have tons of blogging that I should catch up on. I’ve already mowed the grass and tried to put our new grill together.
It was quite the sight though…I was in my pajama boxers and shirt, barefoot and under the carport. I had to make about 20 trips to the basement to get the different tools I would need.
After I unwrapped all of the parts from the box I realized that I was missing all of the screws. After cursing and looking for ten minutes I realized I had almost thrown them in the recycling pile.
The directions specifically said that it would take 30-45 minutes to construct.
Just so happens that it took me 35 minutes to get everything out of the box, find all of the tools, and find the damn screws.
Then the fun part starts. I have to put the rollers on the bottom. Not a problem.
Now putting the cart together gets a little tricky because you have to screw in screws while making sure to hold up a panel at the same time.
All I can say is … I’m glad I have long toes because they really hooked a sister up.
I finished the cart and realized that in order to put the grill on top of the stand you need two people. So it’s all laid out in the carport and I’ll just have to wait til Margot gets home to do that part.
All in a day’s work.
