Freaky Deaky Shelves

I spent the whole fucking morning putting shelves together. And the afternoon. Then we halo'd but i'm really wanting to talk about the shelves.

First off I'm really bad with geography in western europe. And well... geography everywhere. So they were made in Demark. The shelves that is. They look fantastic. They are press board with a veneer. Those freaky deaky dutch know they fucking veneers. But they do not choose fastners very well or drill good pilot holes for that matter.

I did the unspeakable today... many times. (I'm getting ahead of myself) The screws that hold up the individual shelves have really long heads on them so they stick out the appropriate amount, but they are flat head instead of philips or anything of use. The pilot holes are a bit small too. So you try to get the damn thing in the hole and run the drill to screw it it but the head always slips. Fuck. oh did I mention you hit your fingers with the drill bit that looks like a flat head screw driver? fuck. So what did I do that was so unspeakable? I started hitting the screws with a hammer. Yup Just a couple of taps to hold them in place then i'd spin them with the drill so hard they went flying in.

I got used to it. My son says to me "I want to be like you daddy and build stuff" I says to him "Shoot higher son, I'm not good with tools" He can do better than me, much better (see the part where i cut my freakin finger)

Deonn just told me that my geography is off and they are freak deaky danish...Does than sound like some weird pastry stuffed with some awful kinda fruit and cheese? ah well

I got three shelves down and two to... tomorrow night... i'll be ready with my HAMMER...
