Some Assembly Required

As Christmas quickly approaches the joy of IKEA style presents dance in my head like a sledge hammer to the temple. 
What do you anticipate assembling for your family or yourself? I already know I'll be supervising a couple of assemblies on Christmas. I'm excited for it. 

Here's my fun project of the day. 
Manufacturer sent everything but, the support bracket for repairs.  Awesome :anguished: 


Square stock will get bolted and glycol water jackets will be plumber strapped Monday. 


This was an interesting project. Hopefully it holds 200-300 micron on both circuits over the weekend.

    what does "holds 200-300 micron on both circuits" mean?

    @blind99 It's a pretty techy unit. Can be fully monitored on an APP. Refrigerant system is put on a vacuum to ensure no non-condensables are in the system. Vacuum is measured in mmHg or Pa and an inline micrometer gives a more precise measurement to a tech using microns. If it holds at 200-300 micron it tells us there are no leaks and non-condensables in theory have been removed from the oil etc. Each circuit meaning the unit has 3 compressor/refrigerant circuits...Each separate from one another. Unit weighs roughly 800#-1,000#

    Nah. At the end of the day it's just a soft serve ice cream & shake combo unit. I'm not a fan of this particular manufacturer so far. 
    Did 15-20 ElectroFreeze unit's communication set-up at EverBank Stadium that do the same thing only better and they're made beefier (about 400#-500# heavier in fact). But, again...it's just ice cream.

    Brother Husker, I have always enjoyed assembling the toys for the kids and grand kids. I'm just hoping that I don't pass out naked on the toilet again. My wife still acts a fool about that every now and then. Brought it up a while ago when I broke out the Jack Daniels.

    The greatest barrier against all wisdom, the stronghold against knowledge itself, is the single thought, in ones mind, that they already have it all figured out.
