If you're spending "hours" doing housework on top of someone else spending hours doing housework in a week, you (a) have a massive and very dirty house, or (b) are wasting your time being super anal when you could be doing something much more productive like watching Netflix or reading a good book or making love to your spouse.

As I say "dirty house... clean soul"  Once a week for an hour or so, with a big spring and fall cleaning should do it for our place.

F*** me, putting together a crib is tough work.  I also had to do it in such a way as to not foment stress... to breathe and not get frustrated...

This is going to be tough.  :-\

I have a couple of sacks full of those leftover nuts, bolts, washers from Ikea projects if anybody needs them. (various sizes)

You have something against low cost generic furniture that comes in boxes that can fit inside a typical passenger vehicle?

12 years ago, newly single and with no furniture to speak of, I bought 17 Ikea items, assembled them all myself while I drank red wine and grieved.  Over the years I've given away some of them but still have several pieces that have stood up quite well to constant use and several moves.

Getting to put it together is a selling feature for me. I bought a shed from Costco once just because it looked like it could fill a long weekend. I was done halfway through the second day though. But it was like an enormous jigsaw puzzle with instructions. Very enjoyable.
