(Of Course that never happens)The main problem I have with direcftions is that most of them don't make any sense. Being an X engineer, I am used to taking things as written and literally. Haven't seen any directions yet that were completely right. <br /><br />I did get some good laughs. I can just see Brian's expression as he is helping his dad.AZJimhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08205192193650740053noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722591592957517033.post-3215483634610690762009-11-22T14:39:32.750-06:002009-11-22T14:39:32.750-06:00I'm pleased to say the only left over pieces w...I'm pleased to say the only left over pieces were the ones that were supposed to be left over. (i.e. the shipping brackets and bolts that THE INSTRUCTIONS clearly stated could be discarded.)<br /><br />Yes, I take reading instructions to the extreme, whether it's putting something together or learning how to play a new board game. And woe betide you if you ever break a rule.randymeisshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14100394906350879643noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4722591592957517033.post-72525566665072528392009-11-21T21:47:50.520-06:002009-11-21T21:47:50.520-06:00After reading this blog, I actually felt like I pu...After reading this blog, I actually felt like I put it together. Of course, I don't read the instructions...never have. Generally, when I finish assembling something, there are many left over pieces. That's what made putting the volleyball net together up at the cabins such a hoot. But I wonder, did you have any left over pieces?Steve at Randomhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05850384298833289904noreply@blogger.com
