I spent pretty much the whole day unpacking the finish kit and inventorying the contents. If anyone is planning to come visit me and Mary anytime in the near future, we hope you enjoy the guest bedroom's new "canopy" bed. (I crack myself up)
I finally got the crate emptied out save for the bags and bags of leftover packing material. Then I spent the next couple hours breaking the crate apart (easy) and removing the zillion little staples that were left sticking out (tedious). The wood is piled up under my deck for the moment – I need to call the city and have them come haul it away.
Nothing was missing, as far as I can tell, although I did have one duplicated parts bag. Hooray, free "assorted bolts and washers", according to the invoice sheet.
I had to get yet another drawer thingy to hold all the small parts. Shown here is about 75% of the drawer capacity in my garage – not seen are at least two more 50-drawer units that have more stuff in them. There are a lot of little pieces in one of these contraptions…
