The wardrobe carcasses are simple enough.

Feel for you mate, I’d come out in hives just thinking about it.

Good luck with the bit where you’ll need some assistance to hold the **** together, that always ends well.

<laugh> yeah, no ****.

Just stood the first one up, scraped it all over the wood floor and had the front toe board in wonky!

Will assemble the next one vertically, which will involve 'help'. Looking forward to that.

I can cover the minor error btw, no way am I taking the whole thing apart again.

So found my drill and I have 3 bits, one was rusted in but sorted that with wd40. Checking if any of these are any good now.

You do know that drill bits are made for being for either wood, metal or masonry, don’t you?

the one next to the key looks like it’s for wood, the one next to it is Masonry...can’t quite tell what’s in the drill

I wouldn’t confuse Luv further but I understand that it’s essential info

FFS you lot are ****. Think I've found it, white Rawl plugs are 5mm and that's the same as the drill bit as it has 5 at the top so I think I'm ready to go.

Look at it like this, if you make the hole too big...

Yeah, it’s not like the hole needs to be slightly bigger than the thing you’re trying to put in it or anything.

So it was a metal bit and rounded off straight away. Was off to Wilco's but bodies a drill off next door instead and all done.
