Did one about four weeks ago. All of the reviews said it took about 4-5 hours to do...and I thought they were vaginas.


It took about 4-5 hours.

The hardest part is attaching the backboard to the post. Good luck!

OP: Assembling a Bike and a Hot Wheels Monster Garage.

The worse put together was a swing set with no help. Those things have thousands of little bolts.

Did this during the summer this year. Took two days.....full days.
Stay away from these.

I’m putting together a fcking wooden playset in the backyard. None of the holes match up, some hardware is missing, and I sprained my ankle yesterday morning so I’m hobbling around while trying to do it. Have to finish today while my kid is at the wife’s parents.

Yay.


It's the Most Wonderful Time of the Year

told my boss we should start a Christmas assembly business. We don’t have kids and could help put shite together on Christmas Eve. I remember assembling toys for my little sister (no pics) and it was a huge PITA.


They have these.

My brother dropped of those infamous KidKraft kitchen sets and paid $75 for them to assemble it. I can't decide if he's a puss or a genius.

Nothing big. Paw Patrol Lookout Tower for my 2 year old. I don't think the other toys we got him require much assembly. I'll just do that tonight with a glass of whiskey after he goes to bed.

Kids are old enough now that I no longer have to toil until 2 AM putting crap together.

I don’t miss it.

Relax on Christmas Eve and sleep in on Christmas morning.

Can’t beat it.

I remember being a zombie all day on Christmas from being up way too late and up way too early.

Just this for my son



Summit Racing® Factory Five Mk4 Roadster 5.0L Coyote Engine Combos

Started it around 5 this morning. Would have been done by now but I had to dyno engine. Will be done with paint by 11 tonight and then ready for reveal by 8 tomorrow. Been a good time but have to admit the brakes were a bitch.
