IKEA putter-togetherer?

I'm getting a bunch of stuff delivered from IKEA and don't have anything like the chops to put it together. They have some recommended contractors, and I'm wondering if anyone...

(a) has used any of those contractors and can comment on pricing, ability, etc. (please let me know the specific contractor company name) or
(b) is an IKEA wizard and wants to make a few bucks putting my stuff together or
(c) other suggestions, such as a neighborhood contractor who's just as good/same or better price than IKEA's recommended peeps.

Dankeshoen!

    Did you check the classified ads on this board ? I hired Whynot from his ad in the classifieds last weekend for some handyman stuff and I thought he did a really good job for a very reasonable rate.

    as long as you don't have to spend any time talking to him :lol::lol::lol:

    (that's a joke, as I know Whynot in real life....and I would also trust Sweet Tea to build something for me)

    Both speak the truth.

    ...but Sweet Tea claimed this job first.

    I would vouch for either of them, but go with sweet tea if your projects involve spelling in any way.

    if you do hire whynot (since we've pm'd and our schedules don't work out so well), make him tell you the taco bell story.

    Drinking is a central part of the Taco Bell story. Drinking does not go well with hammers or power tools.

    ...if we ever host a story telling session or "poetry slam", I'll attend.
