I am in a right shit of a mood thanks to Mega and their effing bowed clears that we didn't notice until putting it together. I am not hugely comfortable with doing the replacement cuts without hubby, and thought I might get bunnings to do it when I buy the replacement timber. Anyone know what their prices are?

Sweet. Happy to pay that because I really want it finished yesterday and don't want to wait another few weeks for the cuts to be done by hubby.

Why did you not use a tradesperson who would have not chosen 2nd grade or warped timber ?.

Because it's a little home DIY project for a wee standalone shelf. Not a bloody kitchen unit or anything like that. Could've used my registered master builder father in law, or my now retired builder father. But thought I'd do something by myself. But cheers for the awesome assumption message board person lol

Real clever actions some do , then want to blame others.

I love how one small part of a story can be turned into such a big drama on these boards. Been here for 10 plus years (including on an old name) and I never tire of seeing noddies jump to conclusions lol

If you knew so much , why are you asking for simple self help.?

No where did I say I know so much. There's those damn conclusions popping up again. Buggers of things aren't they!
Oh and help? No period. Just sayin'

The positive thing from this is that you have gained experience that you will have forever. Good on you for having a go!

Could have just rung Bunnings and asked. Would have saved you all this conclusion jumping.

I just turn the bowed ones over. But then I'm no tool user, those things are dangerous in these hands.

I always get the Dunedin Bunnings guys to cut timber for me. Mainly for craft projects. They don't charge any extra over the price of the timber. I go when they're not busy, and get them to cut to size with their on site circular saw. They always do an amazing job.
EDIT: Haven't been to Mitre 10 since I bought a clothesline from then and found the exact same thing at Bunnings for nearly half the price. Managed to get a refund from Mitre 10, but they were so grudging about it - kept repeating how it wasn't their fault. I don't care whose fault it is, I just wanted my refund.

Why should they give you a refund?

I agree with golfdiver. A phone call to Bunnings would have given you the answer. I can never understand why people ask other people rather than the supplier they are going to be dealing with.

Wow! Talk about a lot of douchebags throwing their 2 cents in today.
