In my never ending quest to make my apartment look more like a proper apartment, and less like a public storage facility, I scrapped a few more Ikea Billy racks, and replaced them with Hopen dressers (like you have seen previously on the blog). Clearing out five Billy racks, and then hauling them around the apartment (and most into the garage) was already a fun exploration into the bruising of muscles, but managing to cut my arm open on the one rack with the glass door was a true achievement.

I decided to hook up my camcorder directly to one of my laptops, and tapelessly record the assembly. It turned into a fun little time-lapse video.

As I was already sore from moving the Billy racks around, I got a bit lazy on holding the nails, as you will see. I swear, I have never seen a nail do that before. I hit it, and it didn’t get mangled, it took off! You’ll see my look in the video as I heard the nail go “pew”, and embed itself into a pile of crap across the room. Fun!

One computer capturing in a DAT tape. Another capturing in an old TV VHS tape, and one of my laptops capturing 90 minutes of assembly fun. Just another day at BRAT Productions.
