Little house in suburbia

[destina]

I am all moved in to my home now, and now there is only cleaning the old place, and unpacking the new. This week I've had many adventures of the homeowning sort. Here are the top 10.

1. TV stands with 50-pound tempered glass shelves that require upside down assembly and screws placed in on the UNDERSIDE of the shelf (which means it has to be held UP while screwing the shelf in place FROM BENEATH) are meant to be assembled by two people, one to hold the shelf, and one to get the screw in. However, after a couple diet Cokes and some sugar, and some thinky time, I have learned that two-person heavy assembly problems can be solved by one determined person in possession of an ottoman, five pieces of string, a stack of papers, two throw pillows, and a penny. \o/

*giggles* I applaud your ingenuity. We did this last weekend, only it was my husband's new desk and there were two of us. Gods were we sore the next day! It took us from about 1pm to about 10pm, with a break to go out for dinner (because we were NOT cooking) to finish it all.

HELLO MacGuyver! I've missed you!

Ha! Of all the DIY projects I've ever done, curtain rods were the most evil! (I still have the holes in my drywall to prove it.)

ohhh, well at least you are very resourceful and able to overcome the difficulties of home improvement and shelve assembly! I am proud! =D

When you have a statue of the archangel Michael slaying a demon on your mantelpiece, people are going to assume you're religious and try to talk to you about God

Oh no! but hey - that statue totally makes you think of SPN, right? *g*
