Ow.....

My hands and wrists hurt from last nights IKEAing.

I wonder how many people, after a weekend of assembling various STÜFF, have wanted to go over to the nearest Ikea and beat people with the allen wrench, screaming like a road-rage inflamed Zathras "THIS! IS! WRONG! TOOL!!"

It helps to have a full sized toolkit. It doesn't HAVE to be those little "wrenches" they give you. Properly sized sockets work as well.

This is exactly why I have the ikea-sized hex bit for my cordless drill.

Makes sense to me. If we had a cordless drill, I may have gone that route.

Heck, I still might :-)

I think most of them. Including my father, decades before BAbylon 5, which he didn't watch anyway.

You're a good Da.

I try to be at any rate :-)

I am so jealous of you

The closest Ikea to me is a 10 hour drive
