This thread is a good read, thank you for documenting all this. It's helpful for fastener info, placement, etc.
Thank you sir! I need to post an update but I don't have one. I drove my car the other day so it was motivation to get this pile out of my garage! I'll be working on it shortly but I'm also in the process of building a covered grilling area. I should wrap up just in time for the rainy season to end.
