Note: it would be useful to ask someone to help you at this stage.

…in the assembly of your three tier in-tray unit for A4 paper. This phrase is now no longer useful if it is applied in these kinds of situations.

    “If you have to read the instructions for assembling three tier in-trays, ask someone for help” sounds perfectly reasonable to me.

    The first time I read it, I assumed you were setting up a printer’s paper feed. I’m used to complex technology in your blog.

      Its a very reasonable thing to say, in the right place. For instance I bought a shelving unit at the same time, which being six foot tall is fairly unweildy for a single person to handle. Its appropriate to suggest asking for help with some of that (albeit unnecessary). But when it is applied to trivial tasks like screwing a rod to a six inch tall frame it really becomes redundant.
