Geocache Description:


I admit, it is with some envy I find all these wonderfully crafted caches. Especially Chillibutts, Squeakie72 and Squizzy must have a shed rivaling a small manufacturing company. So I turned to the illustrious trio and asked if they could give me some easy concise instructions on how to create an awesome cache container. After some deliberation this is what they came back to me with:


Grab a nail, a bolt and a screw.

Attach the bolt and nail with some glue to the Squeaky-hinges.

Use a hammer and nail the Squeaky-hinges to the Chilli-bottom.

Use a saw to shorten the screw.

Apply some more glue and with the aid of a screwdriver and a spanner attach the Chilli-bottom to the Squizzy-legs.

Two bolts and a bolt with some glue as well as a nail (shortened with a saw) are needed to assemble the next part, the Chilli-head.

Hit the next bolt with a hammer, screw the bolt with a hammer and bolt the screw with a bolt and a nail (don't bolt the screwdriver nor the saw though).

The bolt with the glue and the two bolts, the bolt on the hammer, and the screw, the nail and a new bolt and nail are all applied with a screwdriver to the Squeakie wheels.

Now screw, not nail (I repeat do not nail) the Squeakie wheels to a bolt and screw the bolt to a nail.

Screw this with 2 spanners to the nut and nail the bolt to the nail with 2 more nuts and a bolt using the screwdriver.

Now screw a nail, a bolt and another nail with your screwdriver to the Squizzy-pipes.

Grab another bolt and hammer 4 bolts, a nut and a nail with the back of the screwdriver.

The bolt and the screwdriver are attached with some glue to the screw.

Now nail the bolt to the nail with a saw.

At this stage you may wish to take a break and run some tests on your contrapment.

To finish the cache follow the final instructions:
Bolt a nut and 3 more bolts with a nail.

The bolt and the screwdriver together create the nail-bolt-screw combination underneath the 2 bolts with glue.

This nail-bolt-screw combination will now be known as "the nail-bolt-screw assembly".

Tighten the nut with a spanner and bolt the nail to the saw.

The first bolt and screwdriver are connected to the bolt and nail.

The next bolt and screwdriver are connected to the bolt and nut to make a 2 bolt combo.

Follow these easy instructions and you have yourself a ripper cache!
