But we when...Yes, we do have a powered screwdriver. But we when we first moved here and bought the furniture we had no idea exactly how much work would be involved. As we bought things on a Saturday put stuff together on a Sunday, we could not run out and get one. Hence the original injury.

But GLH's work schedule doesn't usually allow for anything else. For smaller stuff I can go on my own. But there is no way I could manage the closets on my own.
