My Omlet WIR has just arrived and I'm feeling a little daunted by the task ahead of me. I posted on the Omlet forums for advice on any tips or advice on pitfalls and got some entertaining responses such as the following which really made me laugh.
Or is that just me?
- I haven't assembled one of those but surely there's only one method with assembling flat pack stuff…
- Rip open all the boxes with your bare hands and strew the bits about the grass
- Throw the instructions aside, laughing in the face of needing such trivial assistance!
- Spend 15 hours randomly trying to match bits up.
- Give up and have a glass of wine before admitting defeat and retrieving the instructions.
After containing my excitement until the end of the working day I finally got out at 6pm thinking I could get 3h assembly work in and finish tomorrow evening.
I got two side panels assembled to form a corner and was feeling very pleased with myself (OK, I was using the instructions). Then I cast around for the door section. As I did so I spotted the eglu hole panel.
Oh dear - I had purchased a WIR to fit my eglu classic with run, however what I've been sent is a WIR to fit an eglu Go without a run. I'll have to get on the phone to them tomorrow. Trouble is, I'm off on holiday for a week and was hoping to get it all assembled before I went. Darn, darn, darn.
And what do I do with all that cardboard and run pieces while I'm away???? The thought of putting it all back is not appealing. Thank goodness I took the advice and had a bottle of wine chilling ready
