Unbuilding

I unbuilt a desk last night.
Ashlan wants the desk, but without the hutch.
This is a computer desk from the days of large monitors, lowered keyboard and a printer underneath.
Good for what it is, but she preferred it sans hutch.

So – of course you have to take off the base to remove the hutch, and then reattach the desk top to the base. Not too difficult in the end. Just a matter of figuring out how things were attached. And to help me I found the original directions. No, not on the internet, but in my filing cabinet. Sometimes old habits of saving things can pay off. We bought that desk in about 1993 I am guessing. Maybe later, but it was a while ago.

Cleaning, rearranging, deconstructing, moving. All of those things have the house in a great state of upheaval. I think this would be a good opportunity to do some rearranging, painting, and of course a large throwing out party.

Almost sounds like fun. I need to leave work and get to it. But I don’t think that is going to happen, at least not until 4:30.
