Is Anyone Here Good At Putting Together Office Furniture?
 

Honestly I hate putting together stuff, it takes me soooooooo fucking long!

Staples just dropped off my new home office stuff. Desk, chair and book shelf unit and fuck me if I'm going to put it together. I got a kid from the store to come out after work and put it together for $15 an hour.

How about you guys, are you mechanically inclined or are you a dumbass like myself that has no patience?

P.S. If anyone is good at putting together basketball nets and hockey nets please come over and put that shit together for me too! LOL! I have beer here for you!!

I would give the kid the $15 an hour.


:glugglug

Canuck bucks though!!! :winkwink:

Too bad you're so far away... I'm GREAT at that stuff!

My previous career was in building so I got no problem with it. I can throw an entertainment center together in about 30 minutes right out of the box. My car on the other hand is another story. I can't hardly put gas in it without losing nuts and bolts.

Well go back to the store and offer the kid beer and dinner, that might work? I feel for ya, it took Turboface and one of my friends about 7 hours to put are entertainment center together.


:(

Same with me.

I don't have the patience to put together all the office furnture.
It took me close to 6 hours just to put together this desk I'm at now.
Next time I'm paying someone ;):glugglug

Its kinda fun putting that shit together, the problem I have is over tightening screws and understanding the retarded ass instructions so I usually end up with the piece assembled but with some holes here or there that shouldnt be there.

But I dont stress it, I think it adds character :thumbsup

i always pay someone to do it for me.

Dumbass with with no patience here, when I lived in BC I had a guy who I'd hire for all my major assembly/small building needs.

What do you think employees are for? Get the whip out and show them who's boss! Make it worth their while, give them a beer and pizza :)

Yep I'm very good with schematics :)

Hehe I did that last time, but it took 2 of them damn near all day to put it together. Hence lost productivity and lost revenues. :(

This kid from the store has come out a few times and is pretty good. The only problem is that he is a Jahova's Witness so we have to keep the porn talk on the low down while he is around. LOL!

DH

just remember;


ANY tool, can be the RIGHT tool.

instructions are for wuzzes!!



I built my whole ikea apartment without one single set of instructions! :thumbsup

I have mastered putting together office chairs.

I'm mechanically declined...changing the wiper blades on the van is my biggest mechanical achievement...

putting things together is hit or miss, depending upon the position of the moon and alignment of the planets.....but usually ends with me throwing tools, swearing a lot and causing my wife to quietly whisper to the kids "come on kids, let's leave daddy alone and go to the park before he accidently hits himself in the forehead with a hammer again during a tizzy fit"

i built my entire house with a scredriver, some ducttape, silly puddy, and newspaper :glugglug

Greaaaat..gotta love those JW's... Just invite them to your next satanic ritual.. they LOVE that! (I was raised as one.. ugh!!)

LOL! I'm going to ask him when he's over about donating some blood :1orglaugh

DH

You didn't use the whip then :)
They'll work really hard with the threat of a beating!

DH I would have done it for the beer I drink while building it I love putting shit together

I have done it myself and it sucks. Where I worked my boss had the guy from the store come and do it after it took us hours to do. He had a walkman on (this was a while ago) and a electric screwdriver, he was done in 30 minutes.

My son kicks ASS on putting together anything. It's that engineer mind of his. I have things I save and wait for him to come home and put together for me - I'm useless :(

I hate it, I have no patience, that´s why my computer is on top of a box and I sit on the floor7

The instructions make it easy to put things together.

I am good at putting things together. I can put together a house for example :)

Cars.. I suck at cars

Im a chick and I can put that stuff together. Even though half the time the instructions are in either german or some other lanauge. Good luck getting it together...but if you just sit down with it for a few minutes - take a deep breath - you can get through it! PROMISE! :thumbsup

I'm the one who always gets stuck putting everybody's stuff together here. Not just my parents, but my friends come to me too to figure shit out. Assembly, school projects, electronic stuff, blah blah blah....they always come to me with it, lol.

I'm excited to start putting stuff together then I lose my patience and ask 4 help :helpme

seems to be a familiar situation

BTW the kid is over right now and put the desk together in less than 15 fricking minutes! LOL!

Now he is working on the bookshelves and chair. The power of Jahova is working behind this boy!

I am the Ikea / office furniture assembly master.

Tell me all your issues my freind that you need a hand with
