Time for a new tent?

Matt and I attempted to put up a tent that we had bought about 9 years ago to go to sand mountain. We have not used it since then because it was such a bear to put up. Well now that we are wanting to go camping again, Matt wants to use the tent we already have rather then buying a new one. I am all for that IF we can put this one up. If I remember right this tent is really nice with a lot of room, and we spent alot of $ on it back then. side note..... we attempted putting up the canopy part on monday night minus the instructions, no such luck. this is day TWO with instructions! Matt putting the poles throught the slots of the canopy. I was in the house laughing at the scene taking place outside and started to take pictures.
Almost togther, looks like a kite doesn't it?
Wow we got it together! now for the tent... the canopy must be up before the tent could be put up. What a process ! :(
This is the tent.

Looking for the final product....... yeah well the canopy was put together inside out so the tent could not be put up and we have to take the canopy down and reverse it! Eye yeh yeh! Well maybe another night, day THREE pictures to come, maybe. My feeling is we got ripped off and we need to buy a new tent. Putting a tent up should take less then 2 hours, and three DAYS! But a great tent it was for it's time. New tent here I come.
