What is Poppa.....

....doing now???

Well, it's a long story!  I ordered a new desk from Staples.  When it arrived there was one box.  Poppa opened the box and examined all the pieces - but there were no instructions and no hardware and he was pretty sure there were not enough pieces.  So we went to the Staples store and they said we were definitely missing a box.  Since the missing box was nowhere to be found, they gave me a number to call.  When I called the number the lady on the other end assured me that there was only one box, we should re-pack the box we had opened and she would re-order the desk for me.  Sigh!  Poppa was not impressed with trying to get all those pieces back into the small box, so we went to the store to ask some questions.  The very kind gentleman there told us to check when the new box (he still said there should be two boxes) and if both boxes arrived - just keep box 1 of 2 (the one we didn't receive the first time) and return the new box 2 of 2.  A couple of days later the new desk arrived with two boxes. Hurray!  So Poppa began the giant jigsaw puzzle and it took him two afternoons (he as golfing in the mornings), and.........

..... here is the end result!  I have it all tidied up now and it looks fantastic.  Poppa added some extra shelves behing those two doors on the top and all my messy office supplies are stored out-of-sight!  He also (while he was working in the office area)....

.... he pushed the filing cabinet into the niche, built a shlf above it and then a self for my printer (with a little rack above it to hold extra paper) and pushed the rolling file cabinet underneath!  Tidy and convenient!  Thanks Poppa!
