IKEA problems

One of the improvements we are making is putting a double sink into the bathroom.  We found a small double sink that will work at IKEA.  We figured we would put the cabinet portion together ourselves, as we can only assume that contractors hate IKEA instructions even more than lay people.

After a day  of attempting to put together our new white bathroom sink cabinet missing about 1/3 of the parts, calling IKEA three times, taking a bus, renting a car, driving to Stoughton, buying ANOTHER cabinet, putting THAT together, we ended up with a gray bathroom cabinet we love.  IKEA furniture is either a massive success or a massive bust – there is no middle ground.

Today we brought Mannie over to the new house with us.  He did pretty good.  We made him a box to sit in where he could hang out with us and feel safe.  When we were cleaning up to head home, he hid in Jeannette’s sweatshirt that was hanging on the front door knob – he did not want to be forgotten!
