I ordered blinds & bookshelves from Ikea. Got 'em just fine, but turns out Ikea has made some design decisions, probably cost-driven.
The cam-lock nuts are now plastic instead of metal. They broke, so we can't put the shelves together until we get replacements.
Meanwhile, there's a massive glut of book boxes clogging up the living room, for books that have no home yet.
Moving into a place is a bit like those songs about how Johnny is trying to build a house but he needs X tool first, then needs Y object to get X tool, then Z tool to make Y object, etc. etc. etc...
Anybody remember the song, "There's a Hole in the Bucket"?
Yeah. It's like that.
Also, does anybody else see that song as a classic example of weaponized incompetence on Henry's part?
I swear, Liza's chillin' in the sun in her comfy rocking chair, & Henry comes around bothering her endlessly about how to fix a FUCKING BUCKET.
Liza is about to lose her shit in the vid linked above, no joke.
@Impious_Jade And then, for some crazy reason, she swallowed a fly.
I don't know why, she swallowed a fly.
I guess she'll die.
@codeWhisperer I know an old lady... who swallowed a goat...
But there's a hole in it! 🤣
I ordered metal replacements, due tomorrow, at least.
& the blinds look great, got the mounting hardware with 'em, but no screws. So we can't hang the blinds.
We have blankets tacked up over the windows. Looks SO janky.
