I'm not so handy, man

11:23am

Started project. The "Assemble this shit by myself" project. Starring me and a new cabinet.



11:45am

These instructions are pretty easy to follow. Thank you cartoon Ikea man. You are the man.



12:36pm

Oh bloody hell. I got something wrong. The long end of this thingy had to be on the other side of this thingy. Restart. I have to dismantle this mother. Kain muna ako ng lunch at manonood ng Wowowee para may lakas. I'm joking about Wowowee.



2:15pm

Okay, problem solved with my trusty hammer. Time to make hit hit the nails with the martilyo.



3:24pm

Halfway(?) done... I stood the cabinet up. So far, so good. This thing is pretty heavy. Time to make the drawers.



4:03pm

The drawers look simple enough to make. A little glue here, a little puk pok there, and we're done. I'll let the glue dry. Time for a break. I'm leaving the house to hit the gym then eat dinner.



11:09pm

Finished watching 'Eagle Eye' with the housemates. Typical cheesy American Hollywood flick complete with tons of car crashes and big explosions. Back to my project.



11:20pm

Yay, I got one of the doors on. I was going to post this as a time lapse video, but I couldn't find the thingy that connects the tripod to the camera. Oh well.



11:37pm

All the doors are on! Now for the handles.



11:49pm

I've got a "handle" on the situation by now. Heh heh heh.



12:03am

Got the shelves in too. I'm on a roll.



12:09am

Oh crap. There's a big gap between the cabinet doors. Bukas na 'to. Tulog na ako.
