Good peeve, Jezer! My worst assembly project was a wooden pantry for my kitchen. It had a bazillion screws, and many of the pre-bored holes in the wood were not perfect, so pieces didn't line up very well. It was very frustrating to put the thing together, and one door is still a little crooked on it.

Beautiful flowers, by the way!

I actually really enjoy assembling things, I like trying to figure out the instructions and the feeling of accomplishment when I've finished.

Instructions, what are instructions. All you need is a hammer, screwdriver and some glue and you can assemble most anything...

I know!! Most instructions are worthless for sure. I purchased a futon that had to be put together and I was so proud of myself for doing it but I had two very large people spend the night one time and they completely destroyed it, the mechanisms were bent and broken so I had to order replacement parts and put the darn thing back together again!! Needless to say no one is sleeping on it again unless they weigh less than 90 lbs.!!

Self assembly products and instructions!

Still my biggest peeve, Jezer! I did manage to assemble a storage cabinet since we discussed this last and even finished it in one day instead of several as most of these type projects usually drag on for me, so I must be getting better at it, not!!! If anything, I hate it even more!!!

I don't know why these places don't just hire some people to assemble these for you if you want... I'd gladly pay extra to avoid having to do it. Besides, it's kind of impossible to take them back once assembled... hmmm, maybe that's what they're up to?!? I even lucked out on one item I bought last week that had "fully assembled" written on the box, and it was... one in a million!

Great photos of your lovely flowers and garden, Jezer, thanks for sharing... certainly brightens up the day!
