so that he could identify what went with what...after every letter I uploaded, I did the wifely duty and went out to see how he was doing and offer my help, trying hard not to walk on anything TOO important....as you know did quite a few letters, so I did quite a few "sidewalk supervisor" visits. After a few trips I heard him complaining that some of the stuff did not have the letters on them and he was having to try to figure out by the diagram where these things went......took longer, but he figured it out..........well, when I got up this morning, I picked up my socks to throw them in the wash and on the bottom was M, J & T little stickys............LOL!!! I ain't telling him........are you?

I will take your secret to the grave, lol! Poor man must have thought he was losing it. My best way for hubby not to have problems putting things together is I put them together, lol! He really is helpless!

LOL-omg Vicki, that's a riot!!
I never let my husband assemble those things by himself anyway-too many words fly and it drives me insane-I do the assembly-sometimes with a few choice words of my own =O)-
And now that I think of it-in the past whenever he was going to do any of those things in the past-I started out as "HE" will do it, then "WE" will do it-then I end up doing it..... Men-they can be so entertaining to have around.
BTW Vicki- my husband's name is Jim also

By the way.....the doors won't stay closed on the cart........mmmm, maybe M, J or T got mixed up somewhere...LOL I have a towel threw the handles right now to keep them closed so the cats can't get into it......he is going to big box store later to get a stronger magnet.....the magnet on this thing can barely hold a sewing pin.......LOL!!

Soooo funny! Make sure the magnets are sticking out far enough to contact the plate on the doors. Ask me how I know... my late DH was turning the air blue assembling one of these things once, had the things back too far to make contact...he also managed to screw a couple loops of the rug into the top...lord only knows how they survive, surely it was a woman who invented the wheel, tools, etc. hee hee hee. Hugs, Marji

That is just so funny! Still laughing. Well, at least haaving leftover letters is better than leftover screws!
I won't tell him - my lips are sealed! hehe

I won't tell your husband, but I DID tell mine. We both got a good chuckle out of it. Then, as I read further and learned the doors don't stay shut... that was just the icing on the cake.
Great story.
Great story.

What you need to do is put those stickers on HIS socks. Then be surprised to find them there. :)
I have never heard of to-be-assembled items coming with little stickers. I guess that beats the diagrams that have been through three language translations and drawn by someone who doesn't exactly understand the instructions. I have one of those microwave cabinets that have the magnetic doors that don't stay closed. I put a wooden spoon through the handles. It has been that way for the last couple of decades, and seems to work just fine.

Too funny, love it if he is like mine he gets irritable when he is working on things so I would rather do it myself. But I can see you now oops those darn stickers. LOL Sara

THanks for the wonderful laugh. I have vision of your hubby while he is working on this and then I think of myself when just last month I was putting together a desk and two cabinets that were the same way. I really must have been some picture crawling around on the floor. Darn...those elusive letters anyway! LOL

Loved reading this.I don't trust my husband to put things together because he usually doesn't read the instructions properly & always has something left over. He is only needed at times for holding things in place while I screw the screws in or occassionally when brute strength is required because the holes do not line up

You want us to tell him what?? I didn't see or hear anything to tell him?
