We have conquered Ikea!
Actually got in and out with pretty much what we were there for, and only a few impulse buys, all of which were needed around the place. Some new forks, food containers, kitchenware, and a picture hanging kit. Along with the Expedit TV unit.
Before leaving this morning, we consigned the old cursed shelving unit to the pile of trash out front, along with all the old plastic storage bins (they had become overly brittle after a few years). This picture shows the pile from just our little triplex. I don't think the young lady in #3 has added anything to the pile. And we're pikers compared to some of the apartment buildings down the street. Small hills of mattresses, box springs, construction debris, broken toys.. funny thing is the same buildings had similar piles last year. Kirsten is of the opinion that, given the neighborhood, the buildings experience a high turn-over of people who leave in the night abandoning everything they can't carry.
Imagine our shock when we got home to discover that the scavengers has already taken it, along with all the boxes. Damn, those guys work fast.
Now enjoying a rest. I have to work today, so need to recharge to face eight hours of dispatching.
Tomorrow we assemble the new thing, and try to bring a little more order to our chaos.
