| 0:00.0 | Oh, hello everyone welcome to Matt Dory's eggs and adventure. It's Matt. Hi, Dory. Here we are. Yep, day 544. |
| 0:20.0 | It does feel never ending. We've sent for you. We hope you've received this. Yeah, so it continues. |
| 0:34.5 | I'm trying to think of what I did this week. You put together a very large shelving unit in my office. |
| 0:42.4 | Yeah, so if anyone follows me, well, it was actually close friends only on that one. So Dory says, hey, if I get a bookcase, can you assemble it? |
| 0:56.0 | I believe I showed it to you. I believe I have paid attention to it. And I said, sure. |
| 1:04.0 | And then one, two, three, four, five, six, seven boxes showed up from IKEA. |
| 1:13.2 | And they sat there from, why went to the air Tuesday? Yeah. So they sat for five days. |
| 1:24.8 | And then all of a sudden a box gets unpacked. Two of them. And I see glass. And I'm like, what is this bookcase? |
| 1:39.2 | And then yesterday I decided to do my wife the service of building it. |
| 1:49.7 | I had her sort some parts. And that was the extent to which I allowed her to help. |
| 1:57.6 | I did offer to help several times. Yes, but I said, oh, it'll be a lot easier if I just do it on my own. Turns out it was. |
| 2:06.2 | So I did it. I estimated it would take six to eight hours. I think I got it done in six with two breaks. |
| 2:17.2 | And I built a fucking enormous bookcase looking at it right now. It's got a central cabinet location, |
| 2:29.6 | bottom doors and top doors. The top doors are glass. The shelves in the top section of the middle are also glass. |
| 2:37.6 | Yes. It's wild. I mean, I guess you could buy multiples of those and just ride it along the whole room. |
| 2:48.2 | Yeah, it's modular. You can get as many as you want. That's why they were extra brackets that I'm guessing. |
| 2:54.6 | Probably because I tried to follow the instructions to the letter. And like all IKEA things, once you build one, |
| 3:02.8 | the next one becomes much easier. |
| 3:08.7 | Bo is barking. I'm very confused what's happening in this house. |
| 3:14.4 | Just keep podcasting. I'm potting. So yeah, I spent all night doing that. It was very tiresome. |
| 3:23.6 | Then I had to clean up what I would describe as a factory's worth of cardboard |
| 3:31.6 | because all of the stuff shipped in cardboard, luckily, recycling bin was empty. |
