Im sooooooooooo confused!

[skeeter]

I usually wake up at 2:30am to get ready to go to work when I'm on day shift. Im off this weekend, so I slept in. Got up around 5:15am. So, while everyone was still asleep, I figured I'd start puttin together all this stuff my kids got yesterday. Aint got nuthin built yet. I got so many spare parts, I can build a new toy we dont even own! I aint figured out if they were extra parts or if they were left over and actually have a use.

Bad thing is, yesterday my son spent hours building a fort out of all the card board boxes. Guess what he's gettin next year!

Day Shift........ 2:30AM?

You haven't reached the age yet where you actually read the directions before starting, it usually happens around 50 yrs old

yup. 4:30-4:30. I get up at 2:30 to get ready, drink coffee, fix my lunch and feed the dogs. takes me an hour to get to work. That means I gotta leave b4 3:30. pull into the plant about 4:15. Makes for a long day, but the kids gotta eat!

I did THINK ABOUT lookin for the directions, but a little voice told me. "you got this, nobody reads directions!" who is that guy?

[boh347]

I hear ya. Got 3 boys and all the time building something ....

[Mayhem]

i put together my daughters wagon yesterday morning, yes it came with extra stuff. can you believe the directions called for a hammer as one of the tools to put it together. i mean seriously a hammer for a plastic wagon.

Oh thank goodness. I thought this might be a "don't ask, don't tell" kinda thread.

Directions are your friend!!! If you know how to follow them.

I spent part of the afternoon on the 22nd putting together a supposed simple swing set for my kids (the one Academy had on same the day after Thanksgiving). When I went to finish it on Christmas Eve morning I had to undo most of what I had done because apparently the directions for this thing require you to look at the picture on the box to make sure you put it together correctly. I swear I spent as much time disassembling this thing as I did putting it together.

Starvation is a strong motivator!

Translated to: That's the only reason that I work.

building a swing set SUX!!!

had a buddy of mine (a mechanical engineer) come over and help attempt assemble a swing set. After a case of beer and several (maybe a few more) curse words, he and his wife went home. I spent the rest of the day separating and grouping all the different sized bolts together, THEN I actually read the directions (looked at the pictures, the directions were in spankongicanise!) I got er dun but it wasnt easy!

nope, I aint EVER doin that again!
