Welcome to today’s daily kōrero!
Anyone can make the thread, first in first served. If you are here on a day and there’s no daily thread, feel free to create it!
Anyway, it’s just a chance to talk about your day, what you have planned, what you have done, etc.
So, how’s it going?
I’ve been putting a garden shed together, which I’ve never done before. It came flat packed, and the instructions are not as good as I’d hoped. It says to drill holes here and there and all over the place, and it’s not always clear to me where or what way around parts are.
I am slowly and carefully doing it because you can’t un-drill a hole! I don’t exactly want holes all over my shed! I’ve already worked one one of the walls I had back to front, so lucky I didn’t drill that one until later.
I put together our shed myself and it took me a couple of days. Ended up drilling around 200 holes plus rivets. Broke a couple drill bits in the process as well. They also get blunt after so many holes, so make sure you have spares!
I’ve already broken one 😆 There’s a square pipe (is it still called a pipe if it’s square?) that I had to drill holes in, and snapped one off. Ended up hammering it through, so now it’s on the inside of the pipe 😆. Got my rivet in though, that’s what’s important.
That reminds me I need to put the feet on the couch. With a drill. Also, I should buy a drill.
