….. it’s a non-writing day for the Zero to Hero challenge

I’m being asked to check out other themes for this blog. In other words choose a new layout format. I’m a bit hesitant to do this as I know how much time it requires and I’m pretty happy with the theme that I’ve chosen. Because time is scarce tonight I think I will experiment with this challenge on the weekend when I have a bit more time. It’s not that I don’t think that the layout is unimportant, quite the contrary. There are many posts that I find difficult to read because of the colour in the background. Often the font is too small and the contrast between the font the background don’t work well together. White text on black is the worst. It works well for photos but not for lengthy articles. 

Day 5 – Today’s task

On Saturday I purchased a new table to support my newly repaired table lamp. For years it sat on a make-shift table that was well hidden by the couch and sometimes I covered it with a cloth to hide the ugly design. The job today is to assemble the new table. It’s an Ikea product so hopefully it won’t take too long to put together. 

Assembling all the pieces and necessary tools

Well the job took close to 2 hours. It didn’t help that I put one piece in backwards and it took at least 15 minutes to remove the piece and turn it around. In the end the stand came together quite nicely and luckily it fit into the space. Here is the finished piece. I’m pretty proud of it.
