To quote my Mother, “She just ‘ookie-dooked’ them!”
Wellnow. Jerry and Sharon came over and Jerry got all but two of the bolts in within 15 minutes and the last two took ten minutes. I told him to back the bolts out (”screws,” actually, but the thing was from a Canadian company so they dubbed them “bolts”) and I shined a light in the holes.
Gloriosky. The holes weren’t lined up properly. I searched through my meager supply of hardware and found some screws that are roughly the same length but just a little smaller in diameter, and they fit perfectly. They were tight because of the misalignment of the holes, and all I need is to paint them with black nail polish and no one will know.
Except all y’all. So tomorrow morning, I’ll turn to on the assembly of the frames to the mechanisms. Maybe by this time tomorrow, I’ll have a place for company to sit!
