Need some good French swear words: the IKEA delivery is here

[Recursion]

Ah IKEA... modular furniture that also reveals every personality flaw you have.

We're in a 5th-story walk-up (well, there's an elevator, but no sane deliveryperson would use it) so all of our furniture has to come in via cherry picker through our French windows (I suppose they're just called windows here). So that was interesting.

But: I now have a dining room full of boxes labeled things like GRÖNKULLA, SMÖRBOLL, and FLÄRDFULL. If you don't hear back within 12 hours please send help, or at least someone to shoot me.

1. Make sure you bolt your IKEA dressers and chests of drawers to the wall

so they don't fall over and kill you, your kids or your pets.
Sacre bleu.

6. Fortunately it's just the dining set

Worst that can happen is the table collapses on us.

3. A look at Recursion this very moment...

Good luck!

4. Remember, the goal is to have no parts left and no parts thrown out still taped to the box.

No room admission to cats, pups, toddlers, or other "meddling" humans until the task is completed!

BTW, Recursion, how, exactly do you coordinate having a cherry picker available to deliver through your windows with Ikea?

5. I swear to God I can build an extra chair with the leftover parts I have

This is troubling.

I'll post some pics when the whole dining set is done.

14. Ikea has actually admitted to adding extra parts in the boxes.

They get a kick out of it.

7. Maybe you should learn some Swedish swear words!

9. You gotta run those French swear words through the IKEA instructions translator first

This should get you started
