Mr B was full of news during the second mission to build his flat pack drawers.

"I have bad news. I don't have any coffee." - Mr B
"That's OK, water would be fine." - Sevan

Mr B explained the trouble that he was having with his benefits and was so happy to have Kash and Sevan to complete his clothes storage to solve one of the problems that he faced. By the end of the first mission, most of the frame and 2 drawers were done. So the pair "only" needed to build 4 drawers, attach the top, the back and the decorative bits to the front.

"My luck's not great, but I still buy lottery tickets." - Mr B
"Well, it's good to have hope."

Kash and Sevan's historic selves had left future GoodGymers some markings on the instruction sheets to explain how far the build had gotten. That made it easy to get going again, with Kash volunteering for the intricacies of drawer assembly. Sevan was left with with adding pieces to the main carcass, so he had to flip and turn it to be able to drive the screws in for the remaining bits.

"I've got good news!"
"I found 3 lottery tickets that I haven't checked." - Mr B
"Well, they could be worth millions..." - Sevan
"No matches found. Good luck next time."
"No matches found. Good luck next time."
"No matches found. Good luck next time."
"The tickets only matched 1 number." - Mr B
"Maybe next time..."

Mr B, having been a builder and plasterer, had a good set of tools. When it came to pinning the back of the drawers in place, Sevan could only find a rubber mallet, which was too bouncy to knock the tacks into place. After asking Mr B for a hammer, he produced an even larger mallet with a metal head. Sevan feared for his fingers and thumbs. There was no other option though, so the tiny tacks were held between thumb and forefinger and Sevan played mallet roulette with his digits. No fingers or finger nails were lost, but there was a bit of pain and it was a relief when Mr B finally found a regular hammer.

After 6 hours of effort, the drawers were complete and looked great. They were no longer a trip hazard littered around the bedroom and Mr B was immensely grateful. Looking back, maybe the handyman's initial estimate of £150 to build the drawers wasn't all that wild after all?
