Construction Challenge

On Sunday Mike and I sat down to enjoy the season finale of Amazing Race Season 20.  I used to watch this show religiously but then stopped after a few episodes into Season 8 when they had the Family Edition (whose horrible idea was that?)  Anyway I started to pick up the show again half way through this season and forgot how much I love watching the challenges.

After enjoying the season finale and feeling completely charged up Mike and I decided to start assembling the new dresser we had picked up from Ikea in the afternoon.  Our clothes are currently still randomly strewn about the bedroom or hidden in boxes somewhere and we've been itching to properly unpack.  This is what the new dresser looks like.  We couldn't believe how perfectly sized it was, just right for the little   alcove in our bedroom (maybe an inch clearance total).

The time on the clock was 10:16pm.  We laid out all the wooden pieces....on the mattress, on cardboard boxes, on the floor.  Then we found the bag of screws, washers, and dowel pins for assembling everything together :O

Oh dear.

We separated all the contents of the bag into nice neat piles.  By now it was 10:30pm.  Somehow the energy I had gained from watching strangers on t.v complete a day of physical challenges was already draining from my body.  We decided this particular challenge would have to be tackled another day and packed it all back up.  Phil Keoghan would be shaking his head right now.
