Assembling PVC cage... help.

Haha. I bought from pvccages (for my green tree python), because I'm completely not handy at all and thought the cage would arrived assembled. I was wrong. Laugh at me. LOL

Has anyone assembled the cages before? For the bottom panel, is the side he put tape/words on the side that's facing up or facing down? What about the other panels, is the side with the tape on it supposed to face inward or outward? When I put in a screw in a hole, is it supposed to go through to the other side and screw into another panel without a hole in it? What does "flush" mean?

I'm reading step two, and it says to "butt panel #1 A with panel #2 A", but if I touch those together, the interior (where it holds perches) of the side panel is facing outward... that's obviously not right...

Basically, his instructions are unclear for a complete noob with buildings things like me. Can someone dumb down his instructions and answer my questions above?

I'm regretting my choices right now. LOL

Here's the same instructions online, I got a paper printout: http://pvccages.com/assembly-instructions/

I'm at home and asked my mom what "flush" means, and she said "flushing a toilet?"

For laughs.

I would call the number that is on the sheet for help.

Maybe also go to the local hardware store and ask an associate if they could possibly help you.

Those directions cry out for illustrations. :confusd:

By the way, here are a couple of the definitions of flush:

on the same level; in a straight line; without a change of plane:
to be made flush with the top of the table.

in direct contact; squarely:
It was set flush against the edge.

I actually managed to piece it together with the help of my parents... It took 2 and a half hours... LOL. Now I'll just go sit back in my drawing job forever to hold tablet pens for a living.

Right?? It would help so much if there were pictures to go with the directions.

Thanks for the definition :oops:
