Had to fight through some of the worst instructions ever, but managed to get this done in about 6 hours. Seems pretty solid. The boy seems pretty tired. Gonna throw him in it and go mix up some egg nog.

My son got a new bed for Christmas. It has many, many pieces.

DISCUSSION (16)

Bloody hell. That’s a lot of pieces.

I hope you haven’t dismantled his current bed yet as he’ll need something to sleep on for the next couple of days. Lol.

He’s 3. But point taken. I’m drafting my father in law to help.

Just one of the part numbers says x22 in the instructions.

Ugh don’t even. I’m having a shit day so far. I aldready managed to cut the power wire between tail where the batteries are and body of this T-Rex RC toy that was all my son has been asking for since October getting it out of the box thinking it was one of the 6 million zip ties holding it in. Somehow I managed to solder it back together and used my wife’s hair dryer to do the heat shrink since I left my gun at work and get it running. Then there was a huge fight about an ingredient for dinner being missing. My nerves are shot.

Kinja'd!!!

That bed looks like a ton of fun! Love putting stuff together.

Why didn’t you do it last night, when you’re supposed to?

Ran out of room....

Kinja'd!!!

Also, it won’t fit through the door of the room it’s going in so I need to assemble it in there.

Also,I typically do like putting Flatbush pack stuff together but this one has so many damn parts it’s seriously testing my patience.

Well done fella, nice one.

RE: the ingredient thing. I’m the cook on christmas day and everyone stays out of my way. I don’t do requests. They get a choice of what I cook and not what to cook. Any ingredient missing last minute I work around and get on, it’s too late to worry about it so I get another glass of whiskey and move on.

Thanks! I tend to agreee with the ingredients. I can usually make something edible out of what’s on hand. The source of the argument was whether or not the missing thing was on the shopping list that I was sent to the grocery store with on Wednesday. Dinner turned out just fine without it!

LOL, I see what you mean there! Nice job bro getting that all hooked up. You’re a good man!

Arghh yes, the shopping list. The cause of many an argument.

We get it all the time in the store.

Was it on the list or wasn’t it.

What does she mean ‘get six yoghurts’, the store sells 594 different types and flavours of yoghurts (we do, it’s insane).

etc...

Christmas and it’s inherent madness is over for another year at which point we’ll all do it over again. I may just go and hide out in the British Virgin Islands for the whole of December next year.
