How to add a dash of spice to a four hour, two vehicle trek to the mecca of flatpack furniture.... Throw a snowstorm in the high country into the mix. Be sure to use a vehicle you rarely drive, preferably one with rear wheel drive for slightly worrisome traverse over slushy snowy hills and valleys... Add plenty of rain and no cap and an ill-secured tarp and a stop along the side of I15 to rehitch said tarp...
But in the end, it was a crazy long day of drivin' with my dog... Caravaning with my guy, showing him the sights in the madness that is ikea.
How does one put a couch into a box? And then allow the general public to manipulate this box from a display warehouse onto a rolling cart? And yet, this happens like clockwork all day long. We managed it - even managed to stack huge boxes into two trucks, tarp in place, and onward home.
And now, this abstract "to do" has been mostly done. The furniture long planned for is in the garage, in its respective boxes, ready to be assembled and put into place. Exciting, a bit unreal, and yet quite exciting.
My enthusiasm may be somewhat checked when I begin to turn a 2 inch thick box of parts and pieces into a dining room table.
We skipped the meatballs.
