    Thanks Matt, I'm planning on using studs on them. I did notice it has 2 bolts on the bottom of them though. I'll have to check for set screws in there.

    I didn't get any time to work on it this weekend. Saturday was honey do day. I took the boys to get their hair cuts. While we waited on the girls to get their hair cut, I went to my parent's place and grabbed some metal to build the engine mounts for the 40 out of. Then it was off to meet the girls for lunch. Afterwords the boys and I headed home. I talked them into picking up sticks up for me while I unloaded their new to them bunk beds. We got their old beds torn down and put away, and the bunk beds hauled up the stairs, assembled and put together before we had to leave for dinner.

    Sunday was honey do day for my mother. My Dad just had his hip replaced on Friday. One of my mom's horses walked through a fence Sunday morning. It ended up being too windy to finish putting her pool up, so my wife and I removed old rotted wood, and put up new fence boards and some posts. In the afternoon my mom brought my Dad home. I helped him in the house and returned to take the fixings my wife brought to make dinner for everyone. As I went up the stairs to the deck, they crashed out from under me. Good thing that didn't happen 2 minutes earlier when Dad was on them. So, my next project was to build new stairs going on the deck for them. Good thing Menards isn't too far away. Haha My middle brother did help do that project. We got done at about 11:30 last night. Boy, I sure do get a lot of stuff done. Maybe someday I'll be that productive on my stuff. Hahaha

    HMmmmm, since you're such a hard working fella.. I'll refrain from some smarta_ _ wisecrack 'bout bustin' the stairs and blamin' it on rotted wood!

    In all seriousness, so glad we didn't hear you say that you and Dad crashed through! God was watching out for him!

    So what's it like being an over-achiever!
