Some assembly required

I'm sitting in the kitchen watching my roommate as she attempts to build a shoe rack. Instead of using a hammer, she's using her meat tenderizer to whack things into place (at least I'm assuming that's what she's doing).

Other construction substitutions that we've made over the past month, to varying degrees of success, because we're too cheap/lazy to purchase real tools:

Flat screwdriver: dime, penny, soda can tabs
Phillips screwdriver: two bobby pins, corkscrew
Wrench: rubber bands/towels covering fingers
Measuring tape: the length of our bodies/feet
Hammer: large book, wine bottle, meat tenderizer

I'll be amazed if everything we own doesn't one day just collapse to the floor in a pile of dust and improperly screwed-together rubble.
