Oh IKEA....

If you live on the East Coast, as we do, you most likely were stuck indoors with the killer storms that passed through this weekend. You know what that means! IKEA!!! I was lucky enough to be able to make TWO trips this weekend. So other than spending a couple of hours in Northern VA traffic and a few hours getting run over by middle aged soccer moms with shopping carts we finally got what Sparkie needed. Then it was time to build build, build!

First off the BED!

Although I believe IKEA is the reason for the divorice rate being above 50% in the US, Sparkie and I were able to build it together with no problems and we now have an actual bed!

Feeling good we went ahead and tried to tackle the LACK wall mounted bookshelf. Putting the shelf together was no sweat at all but mounting it became a pain. First, we were told we had 1/2 inch drywall, not true; it's 1/4 on top of plaster. That means another trip to Home Depot for correct screws and now a new drill. Second attempt went well but why does IKEA make it impossible to screw it into the wall! The top and bottom of the shelf are right where you need to screw in the wall mount, was a pain in the ass!

But we succeeded and for now, the IKEA runs are over!
