Straighten those shelves out Dennis! A rubber mallet can be very persuasive;)

-- My dad and I built a 65 chev pick up.I killed trannys in that thing for some reason-Hog

LOL…....so are you pulling your hair out dennis or scratching ….so sorry the shelves didnt measure up…get it…measure up…..silke will measure for you from now on..we all know how much teenagers know over us old folks…..thank goodness for them…how would we ever make it…...do you rent her out, i need her to manage the house duties here…can she wash dishes…or sweep…or is she just a trainer wood worker…lol…..i have an extra rubber mallet i can send…would it help….grizz

-- GRIZZMAN ...[''''']

Looks like you have a great helper there, Dennis! I agree with Grizz – Silke can be the new foreman around there. My friend Cari and I put together lots of gym sets and toys and furniture – and we were seldom without our rubber mallet! Our motto was “if it doesn’t fit – use the rubber mallet!” Worked every time!

I hope Silke doesn’t work you too hard! Maybe if you give her some ice cream she will go easy on you!

Have a fun time together assembling your shelves! Take care and stay dry!

Dennis.. Perhaps the shmart a$$ could be a perminant shelf support ? At least until graduation..I’ve heard even the suggestion makes a BIG difference in attitude ?

I know how you feel, Dennis.

I recently replaced a pump like that. It was probably 30 years old. It was getting loud and running a lot. It had a leak in the out pipe, leaking back into the sump, making it run more than it needed to. I haven’t heard the new one yet.

Never surrender!

-- It must be jelly baby, cause jam don't shake like that...

I am sure that you will have fun making them fit…

My Dad always said “don’t force it, use a bigger hammer”.

I’ve put a few of those together. All you need is a couple of extra hands and a lot of patience.

I think that you should have received with the `pack`, 8 leg sections approx 100 cms, or, 12 legs of approx 70 cm, lengths so that you have approx 10 cm`s over-lapping joints. They do this down here to keep packaging to the smallest possible size. Did they supply sufficient quantity of screws,washers & nuts. I must say that ALL Danes were `clever` & `innovative`, or, you are suffering from `early aging` or too much ACQUAVIT. (did I spell that correctly ??)

The shelves are fine. You and the house are just growing.

The second photo of you is classic!

Hmmmmmm. Little chardonnay does here. Yes, it is an erector set, like what I had as a grade school kid. It will grow as you construct it. Finally, I see what you look like. Your daughter did a good job.

I am basically as you see in my avatar, or some of my pictures from Hawaii.

BUT YOU, HAVE BEEN CHEATING US!!!

We didn’t know you were so handy…...so true blue…...so…

Let’s not get into that. We don’t want the the girl LJ’s to go GAGA.

Tomorrow will be blogomania, if I am in the mood. A few items to do….pictures are taken.

........but your pictures…........

You know the problem with kids, they see it as it is…....we don’t get to posture and dissemble. Oh, well.

..........reality is highly overrated.

I’ll continue with my fantasy….........

Dennis,

The shelves will grow. You still have water in the basement, so just leave a light on for them. Silke is a petty thing. You’re lucky to have her. Now put her to work.

Dennis,
You are lucky to have Silke’s expert guidance in putting the shelves together. And if that doesn’t work, laughter and smiles are always a good thing to share with her.

Good luck with growing your shelves!

I have one on my desk, yes the rubber mallet. No one bother me when I am thinking.
That happens rarely.

I am glad you getting back on your feet after the floding. Keep that pump as a souvenir.
