...but if you happen to be bored on Saturday

How hard can it be: ...How hard can it be: ...So yesterday I was dispatched by Guba to pickup one of these Adventure Playsets Trail Blazer Swing Set. Fortunately, Coxxorz *cough* volunteered *cough* to go with me and help me to load it into the CRV.

The instructions and recommendation claim that it is not a fast setup and recommend more than one person.

While I have no concerns about assembling this on my own I figure that many hands will make fast work.

So if it isn't raining tomorrow and you happen to be driving by my area with your power tools (screwdrivers/drill as everything is supposed to be pre-cut and pre-drilled) be sure to stop by the house. One person to read the instructions while at least two others ignore him/her is pretty much what I am looking for.

We're out of beer and pop but I could probably fix that before tomorrow.

And remember that we are trying to build a swing set and not:

This...                  or this...            or this...        and really not thisThis...                  or this...            or this...        and really not this

Also its important that we save some energy and patience for when we build this:

Speaking of which. MoriceRevek! I will need to borrow your compressor and pneumatic hammer in the near future. Hope this isn't a problem.

It is not a problem. If I can find them. I know the compressor is int he garage, but the nail gun, I have to look for it.

Did it get built? Did it fall down? Was anyone mocked and abused?

I will not be driving past any places in Ottawa tomorrow. Luckily for you I mean.

I am however going to Ikea tomorrow, so I will likely have some spare parts by Monday, if you need some.

But I doubt there's enough wood or beer available to make it happen.

With someone who can fetch coffee, coke, and hold the occasional piece where I (very clearly) tell you to.

All the while discoursing with half-pint about quasilinear packet encryption filtering.

Half-pint's so enjoyed your last discourse.

He's in the Bahamas for the next week.

BUT I feel much better now:

He called me to tell me that his luggage is in Vancouver. Westjet seems to think that cargo heading for the BAHAMAS should do a stop-over in HAWAII...

Ask him if there is anything good in his luggage I can go grab. :) Like his sweet camera. :)

That with the type of help you're likely to end up with, you're better off getting Half-Pint to help.

I would also pick Half-pint over you.
