The low point was realising about an hour in that I'd put the left and right legs the wrong way round, necessitating a dismantle and rebuild that I hadn't planned for (although, to be honest, given my record, I should have planned for). Of course, once I'd finished, the gas regulator didn't work and I had to replace it (another half hour because getting a gas hose off a regulator is not an easy job, for me at least).

I know I'm spatially challenged, but I always (naively) think it'll be different every time I start something like this.
I'm just glad you didn't burn yourself.
Oh and sympathies.
