My new table arrived! I told them at the store that I'd save the $50 delivery fee and pick up the table myself, unassembled, from the warehouse, no problem. My car and I zipped over there and pulled right up to the bay. Problem: the box didn't fit in my car. The guys at the warehouse scratched their heads, befuddled. "What if we take it outta de box?" they drawled. I scooted the driver's seat as far forward as it would go, and we slid in formica and chrome and screw assemblies. I bounced home with my knees under my chin and my table safe and sound. It wasn't nearly so hard to assemble it.
Sustainable. Quirky. Healthy. Thrifty. Join me on a journey as we put our resourcefulness and creativity to work for a joyful life!
