Well I was woken up by Shawn saying that the appliances were coming. I did not know he meant few seconds later so I quickly got up and helped him help the guy move the stuff from ground floor up to the second floor.
First it was the washing machine and it was heavy stuff. Second it was the fridge was not so bad then it was the tv and dryer together as they were quite light.
After that I made myself breakfast and was eating half way when the Ikea people arrived with our furniture. So we had to go down and bring each of them pieces up ourselves cos we did not want to pay for them to take it upstairs as they charge per flight of stairs which is absurd.
These were heavy stuff. My desk, my bed frame and the dining table.
We fixed the dining table first and it required a wrench which we did not have so we just assembled it first and set it aside for later. Shawn wanted to go back to Ikea at 2pm to exchange his incomplete lamp set. While waiting I assmebled my bed only to find out that I have to screw on the bed feet without any holes provided at the specified place so I did not want to do that. I also found out that the bed frame does not include the base support for the mattress.
So I went with Shawn to Burnley train station and from there walked almost 2 kilometers of straight road to Ikea. I bought the base support which was wrapped up like a square block of wood much like the one you see The Rock swinging around in Walking Tall. I lugged that thing all the way back to the train station and back to the 2nd floor of my apartment. It was a good work out.
After that we assembled my desk. It is quite cool actually. It is like the one I have back home in Malaysia except that they sold black here which I got. After that we tighten the nuts on the dining table wit the new multi purpose pliers we bought.
Cleaned up the place of the boxes and plastic wrappings and disposed of them. We had so much to throw away that we actually used 5 out of 6 recycle bins. Our apartment has 6 units so 1 bin for each unit. But hey who's telling. Haha.
After that we watched some Olympics male singles table tennis gold match. China vs Korea. Shawn and I were rooting for China. It was a good match China looked like he did not stand a chance but slowly gain a draw but then Korea won in the end. Guess the China player was not playing as aggressively as the Korean dude.
My computer was acting up again so Shawn decided that we swap RAMs to see if the RAMs were the culprit. Well I switched with him and so far so good no hangs. Probably the RAMs werent fitted in nicely previously. I really really hope that this would fix everything.
