Sometimes you just have to start cutting and make adjustments as you go. I guess Engineers are able to figure out exact clearances and where every component goes before they ever start, but as a backyard builder, I never have. I just start building and make changes as I go. Sometimes you scrap stuff and start over, but eventually you will come up with solutions.

Like Brian said one time, (paraphrasing) we don't have a blueprint for these things and it isn't like we are making multiple versions, so you just adjust as you go.

Start on one end, tack it up then move to the other and see how it fits. If you need to make changes, so be it, but you have to start somewhere.

Fire up the torch !!!
