susandennisSomehow in my head, I had this scenario where one day Sheri and the furniture maker would come to install the new desk with whoever was taking the old desk. I'd unhook everything and move it to the kitchen counter and rehook it up there. Holy crap what in the hell was I smoking???
When Amira said she wanted the desk, I figured I'd wait until she got here and then do the move and rehook up thing.
Then I decided to go ahead and do it so that she could get in and get the desk out with a minimum of bother.
This last bit was the only smart thought of the bunch.
I just spent 3 hours unplugging unthreading unhitching and rehooking up everything and holyfuckinchrist. Leisurely with no one waiting on me and taking my time it was a royal bitch of a job. The desk has 3 gormets and each was filled with cables and cords. The hutch also had a way to thread stuff through. Everything was tangled in everything and filthy.
Plus, of course, Travis was there to help.
I finally got everything done except cleanup. Stuff I no longer need but was somehow using anyway: 3 power strips, 4 extension cords, 3 ethernet cables.
Here's what it looks like now
I'm done for today but clearly there is much more to do. I'm not living like this for 3 weeks (or maybe 4). BUT I am very glad I got this started so I found out now what a bitch of a job it is and get it all done before hand.
Whew.
