All night screwing Around
Oh yes, the exciting lives that Agata and I lead. Our good friend Ingrid invited us to a private
soiree 15Km away to assemble her new baby furniture. Great we thought, what could be
better than a 15Km cycle ride (and back) coupled with an evening of home assembly.
We performed a similar task about a month ago so we feel that our reputation must be
spreading. The things we will do for a spot of dinner and a glass of wine ...
Ingrid starts off the evening correctly: Drinks and nibbles.
The Blog
That is more boxes than we expected
Vojto and Agata are doing all the heavy large assemblies
Agata seems to be combining assembly with a Stretching exercise workout, she's very
clever.
Ingrid is officially in charge of the plastic mallet
"Are we nearly done yet" Marcus pleads
Learning Points
The furniture was imported from Poland. The instructions were in secret Polish
code
Some of the instructions sheets were so faintly printed that even a Polish speaker /
reader could not really decode them

Ingrid chose the Polish furniture from Pinio since it's made of real pieces of wood
and not Medium Density Fibreboard (MDF). Very traditional but it is clear that you
can NOT get the tolerences for mass produced consumer items using that
natural technology.
Now more than ever I begin to respect IKEA who produce in much higher volume,
with much clearer instructions and to build tolerences so much higher that there is
just no comparison.
Our baby Bosch IXO power tool was light and small enough to carry in our cycling
rucksack and was again just brilliant (Check out this limited edition version, I think
we might need it urgently)
Yet again Agata and Marcus prove that an active evening in with a spot of wine,
good company, and a healthy dinner is a mighty fine thing
