In my last house, I had purchased a kit to assemble a large desk. It was quite large with many drawers, complete with a hutch on top.

The package the desk was delivered in was so heavy, I
cut open the package and moved few parts at a time from the garage to the room where it was going to be placed, and assembled it there.

Then we were moving to another house in another town. I dis-assembled all dozens of parts of the desk, which made it easy to move into the U-Haul van. And in the new house I re-assembled it! Self-assembly has it’s advantages.

LOL

I truly envy folks like you. My beloved husband can do the assembling as well. He actually put back together a sewing table I had managed to wreck.

Myself? Not a chance of assembling anything. When I was active duty a male colleague of mine reminded me that I have to be 2% smarter than the object I was working on at the time.

He was obviously comfortable enough in our friendship to where he knew I would never take it as a sexist comment.

LOL
