(and bunch of other stuff too). i must say that without the manual, there was no way to figure out what goes where. so manuals are great.<br \/>\nand also, let me give u a hint: keep your manual in a safe place when assembling! because when i was not looking, Saab almost ate half a page! luckily it was a page that i had already read.. and i caught him munching before he could eat the rest of it! so it was pretty close call, actually.<\/p>\n<p>also, u know, if you have teddies at home who like to eat stuff, it is good to have something to trade with. <a href=\"http:\/\/twitpic.com\/3fm7cd\" target=\"_blank\">moose<\/a>, for example, are great in situations like these.<br \/>\nso this is about where i was just before the eating incident:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ikeathegiraffe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/DSC_3869.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-861\" title=\"DSC_3869\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ikeathegiraffe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/DSC_3869-680x1024.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"408\" height=\"614\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ikeathegiraffe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/DSC_3869-680x1024.jpg 680w, https:\/\/www.ikeathegiraffe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/DSC_3869-199x300.jpg 199w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 408px) 100vw, 408px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>and this is about one, two or maybe three hours later:<\/p>\n<p style=\"text-align: center;\"><a href=\"http:\/\/www.ikeathegiraffe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/DSC_3873.jpg\"><img decoding=\"async\" loading=\"lazy\" class=\"aligncenter size-large wp-image-862\" title=\"DSC_3873\" src=\"http:\/\/www.ikeathegiraffe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/DSC_3873-1024x680.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"614\" height=\"408\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.ikeathegiraffe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/DSC_3873-1024x680.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/www.ikeathegiraffe.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2010\/12\/DSC_3873-300x199.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 614px) 100vw, 614px\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p>i don&#8217;t know exactly because i don&#8217;t carry a watch u know. i have to tell u that it was already getting a bit dark outside, so maybe it was three hours later. or four even. not more than six hours, that&#8217;s for sure. so, it&#8217;s almost done, just a one more drawer to fix. almost through with the manual!!<\/p>\n<p>so, there was lots of fun celebration just moments after this fotograf. because the cupboard was all assembled!! so no fotografs from that. but u will see this new place we discovered right afterwards!
