Hey parts vendors, how about INCLUDING A DECENT SET OF INSTRUCTIONS in with the products you sell?
This reminds me of when I built my garage. I had the pad poured by a contractor who had been very highly recommended by a good friend of mine, and I had gone to my local lumber yard with my dimensions and plans for the garage. They gave me the quote for all the the materials, I paid for it all, and waited for a day or two for delivery.
Came home from work on the day that my materials were delivered, (except for the roof trusses as they were not yet built to my design specs), and thought, " holy ****, how in the hell am I supposed to put this pile of lumber together and make it look like a building?"
I had never built anything larger than a 10 by 12 shed before on my own, but I have helped with many building projects of others. In the end I got it done, very few mistakes, none of them were really bad, and I learned that I was not that bad at building things.
I have no doubt that a great deal of what I learned from other people and projects really saved my ***, plus when I really needed help I was able to find it.
