Projects Outside The Kitchen

[deceptivemirror.livejournal.com]

Cap's been fitting in quite well lately! He's also trying to get me (and the boys) into better shape. What better way to do that then a standing desk, I wondered?





Sam seemed impressed with my choice. I certainly couldn't beat the price.



I didn't anticipate the cultural education we'd have to do…later.



I also ended up on the receiving end of some very dirty looks from our resident mechanic.



Building things always puts people into screwy moods. No pun intended.



…or maybe that's just me.



Sam, Dean, nor I, are particularly looking forward to telling Cap about Ikea. Is it that obvious?



Dean really doesn't like it when we state the obvious.



On the other hand, he got to enjoy the fringe benefits.



Cap is such a useful guy! His super-strength came in quite handy.



Not to be outdone, Sam made himself useful with the one thing I felt he would be safe doing.



Dean stopped glaring at me when he found out I had a real tool-kit. Of course, I didn't mention it was from Ikea…



The boys decided to give me a little eye-candy pose once they'd gotten the desk completed.



…which they were obviously hoping I'd be happy enough about to forget about the part of building things I hate the most.



For the record, my new standing-desk looks like this:



I doubt I'll be building anything else any time soon, unless I decide to brave Ikea for more bookshelves. Wait until poor Cap gets a load of that!

Well done. Especially considering all the "help" you had.

:)

With "help" like that, who needs sabotage? :p

[ennisjackdean.livejournal.com]

I think we have to give them each an A
for effort DM. :))

[deceptivemirror.livejournal.com]

I did. After I made them help me clean up.

[fanspired]

Good to know the boys are all handy :P

[deceptivemirror.livejournal.com]

Well, Dean and Cap are. I have to supervise Sam.

Wow, I'm impressed on two counts - 1. that Cap is such a gentleman and 2. that you did such a good job! I think if I tried to do that, even with the help (such as it is) of my minis, it would end up looking like a pile of firewood!

[deceptivemirror.livejournal.com]

Something to be said for those old-style manners. Cap is a true gentleman :)

I have some skill with building things, but it's a damn good thing there were instructions! I'm not the handiest person ever born, and having that manual helped a lot.

Ooh, nice work. That's a nice desk. Happy to hear the boys are handy.

[deceptivemirror.livejournal.com]

I am too! Thanks :) It's been very nice to have this desk and the guys like to keep me company while I work.

[jeweledvixen.livejournal.com]

Hahah! Very cute. The guys sure are handy to have around. Did you really expect them to hang around for the clean up? Nice desk.

[deceptivemirror.livejournal.com]

I had hopes they'd help without prompting, but even the gentlemanly Cap suddenly remembered he had something to do. Bums! :D

Hee hee, I love Dean wanting 'real tools' and Cap not knowing about Ikea! They were very helpful, it's just a shame they were more concerned with doing their eye candy posing than helping you clean up!

[deceptivemirror.livejournal.com]

Dean's a tool-snob! What use do I have for a full mechanic's workshop worth of tools when I'm not a mechanic?!

It's not that I didn't appreciate the eye-candy, but come on! Help with the mess, guys!

[jj1564.livejournal.com]

Yes, stop posing and lend a hand!

[milly-gal.livejournal.com]

Seriously, how come your guys are all about helping and creating, when mine just like to consume and destroy, LOL!

[deceptivemirror.livejournal.com]

There's not as much in my apartment to destroy…?

(side answer; I'm short, and if I want to put them somewhere, they're limited by my height)

*sniggers quietly* Aww honey! lol!
