It's Alive . . .

For those of you who have been waiting at the edge of your office chairs to hear the rest of the Bunk Bed of Dooom saga . . .

Finally, after a typically frustrating DAY at IKEA, we were able to put the bed together and my kids (or at least one) is sleeping in it. Even after it was built, we still had a pile of spare parts and a bag partially full of mystery screws. The finished product doesn't exactly mirror the image on the directionless directions nor the manufactures photos. One part we just didn't have. Several parts had wholes that weren't supposed too, were as other didn't have wholes that were they should either. So we made our own creation that was sturdy enough for the Destruco-Binats. I have to say, this was the most challanging IKEA product that I have ever had to assemble. And I thought I was a professional. I actually contemplated making it a business; building stuff for the impatient pampered IKEA shopper. If there was ever a contast for building BILLY bookcases, I would be there with my allen keys and a hammer.
