4.5 months

1 Fuller 160-piece Tool set

Well, my sincerest apologies for the very late post. A thousand pardons. I tell you what, if you come to visit, I'll make the most delicious dessert you've ever had - it'll make you weak in the knees...
Seriously, I had to get a replacement laptop, as my last one met with an unfortunate accident...
And, lo and behold - CJ FINALLY got his birthday barbeque set up. You can see up above that it took a purchase of a tool set and a lot of time to get things organized, but the BBQ is finally ready to roll. I'll have a test steak tomorrow night to ensure things are how they should be, then I'm sure I'll have my Guiness burgers, and another type of burger in short order.
The assembly wasn't overly complicated - you just need a ratchet and some screwdrivers, and it would have helped to have had a sous-chef assisting you. So, that's why it took me about as long as the "Criminal Minds" marathon on Sunday. I have to admit, that's not a bad show. There's no fembots, of course, but the profiling of serial killers was intriguing...
As always, see below for your viewing pleasure.
Unpacked and before assembly on my living room floor:
And, assembled and ready to roast on my balcony:
A grade? Well, for mere timing alone I'd give it an F+, complexity wasn't difficult at all (A-) but I'd have to wait until I test it with real food before I can note whether it passed or not...
PS: I checked the stats on my blog today: Guess which post is the most highly-viewed? I'll buy/make dinner for the first person who guesses correctly.
