Taming the monster
Another long weekend around here, so the past two days have seen us redecorating the bedroom. After painting the room yesterday, today we tackled the Ikea monster. Some months ago, while my wife was shopping for some small items at one of the Ikea stores, about 12 large boxes (all containing parts of the monster) leapt into her car. They then hid in the cellar until today, when by chance, we discovered them and decided to tackle the beast.
Actually, with one small exception, the whole thing was relatively easy to put together and now takes up one wall of the bedroom with lots of space to store things.
Now about that exception. Doors and hinges. I can never get them to fit properly or do what they are supposed to. I'm sure deep in the bowels of Ikea, there is a disgruntled hinge engineer working on designing new ways of making me curse.
