RIGHT ... IF ANYONE MENTIONS THE WORD ...

'BENCH' !!!

I WILL PERSONALLY STICK MY SCREWDRIVER SO FAR INTO ONE OF YER ORIFICES THAT IT WILL NEED DEEP SURGERY TO REMOVE.

I WOULD ALSO QUESTION UNDER TRADE DESCRIPTIONS THE WORDS 'EASY TO ASSEMBLE'

AAAARGGGGGH ... MISSION IMPOSSIBLE.

I know the feeling katex. I bought a thingummyjig last year for my mum and it took ages to try to put it all together - in the end i gave up and invited my sis & her partner & kids for tea - and sis & her partner put it together while i cooked! I cheated i'll admit it! lol

Anyway, nearly there with this thing .. had succumb to asking a friend to help me last night. Only the brackets to put on now.

What gets me is no details on box to indicate what I would need, so bought normal type screwdriver instead of Philips, but seems to work ok. Now discovered will need summat to hold nuts at back to tighten up these screws, and THEN it says, 'using electric screwdriver' make some pilot holes

for wood screws.

Wish that it also would have added plus 'one extra human being'

Off to B & Q now.

Just charging it up now.

Thanks for help, always get it here no matter how mundane .. Accyweb brill.. hope didn't offend anyone by the innuendo.

Thanks Chav for the offer of help, but can't be certain that innuendo is in your vocabulary

I know Mez hun, sooo sorry, now find they only provide one spare bolt for the two I bent in my early attempts to get first slat in, however, think one has gone in successfully, albeit slightly crooked.

Now on last lap putting on long middle bracket which has to be screwed into each slat ! Says 'may need some bending' English phrase of understatement here. If yer' first name is Uri .. come along

Managed to do three .. ok so what if not quite flush with slat

and maybe I have taken the indents (or whatever they call them) off the top of the screws.

Love my screwdriver however ... see what ya' mean

Mines a sexy little black and white number.

Shillelagh: Would have tried your tactic, but can't cook either.

Will have to get back to it later, have to start the bloody ironing now.

shillelagh · 01-08-2006, 02:17

Neither can i kate - what i did was send the nephews to maccydees along the road and a list of what to get and told em to run home so then the burgers didnt get cold!! lol It was a treat for mum!
