I’m building a cedar playhouse.

Hopefully the screws they sent actually hold the thing together unlike mine. Half the predrilled holes were too large or simply stripped

Random screws still fall out of that thing today nearly 2 years later

Got a power wheels with a shocking amount of parts and instructions in mostly English but translated poorly. I will take this any day over the kitchen I put together last year… grossly underestimated that time frame.

Checking in with this Lego tabletop, storage, and chairs thing. Should be tedious but thankful it isn’t a trampoline or tree house.

Merry Christmas, Santas

Spent time yesterday building a big sandbox for a grandkid.
Was a group project and fun.
Far from as bad as a badly manufactured and poorly documented cycle I assembled many years ago.

Just got a call from a bud slaving over a segway go kart. Walked him thru some pro tips since I did it last year. Was a pain!

Just did a gaming chair. Got it all together and realized I forgot the part that covers the gas cylinder. Had to google how to take it apart. Finally got it.

I just don’t understand how you can be a single nut or screw short on EVERY fricking item that I have to put together.

No shite man, it took me and my father in law 37 man-hours to build the one we bought. Those things are no joke.

Going to have to figure out how to get the middle one off the Xbox at some point and the high schooler is in his room but I suspect he will want some sort of late night snack. We will see how we can get the presents under the tree at a reasonable hour
pretty sure they don’t think Santa is bringing gifts

When I did this, it took me 8 hours at a minimum.

Just finished breaking my back on a power wheels assembly. It really wasn't too bad other than my wife throwing away the box that had the back axel still in it. That took about 20 frustrating minutes to figure out
