I bet that would come out better if you screwed or nailed it up instead of just hanging it.

No, no, no! You can't use one of those! It has to be done by hand or really bad things will happen!

Nope, was supposed to be working on BBQ pits and bush hogging all weekend and instead Im stuck playing carpenter. And of all trades, carpentering is the one I hate the most.

Dust everywhere, measure and cut.....

At least if I lop off too much metal I can always grab a couple of extra rods and fill it up....
