My next task was to assemble any tools
that I thought might be needed. There were no written instructions,
only pictures, so I did not know exactly what I might need and had to
guess. I started with a screwdriver and a glass of wine.
Now, whilst many people may not
recognize the necessity of a glass of red wine in DIY and decor, I
do. I have assembled typing chairs and tv cabinets in the past - and
I recalled the confusion and rejection of seeing hundreds of pieces
that mostly looked alike when we ordered that shed... The wine was a
'just in case' relaxant, for dealing with problems such as missing
parts, things not working as they should, or puzzling diagrams that
did not make logical sense, should I encounter such.
Starting properly, I assembled the
first piece - the top - and items needed to be attached to it.
Having inserted the long lumpy
screw-things, and screwed on the magnetic latch, I assembled the
second picture worth of pieces - for the bottom. This only needed
four metal blobs inserting.
This is where I first needed a swig of
that wine I mentioned earlier.... because one of the little metal
lumps would not insert deeply, whilst the other three went right into
their holes. (Fiddle, fiddle, thump, fiddle, fiddle, sip)
Next, I did likewise with the two side
pieces - long screw-things and little metal lumps needed to be
inserted as I raced my way across the top line of the instruction
guide within mere minutes...
As you can see by my last photo, I was
getting through the bits and pieces quickly and already I had done
the top line. I then decided I had better deal with the troublesome
little metal thingys as 3 of them would NOT fit into their holes
correctly.
