after struggling for a few days with warped 2x4's i have come to the conclusion that i need to make a plywood box-beam for the strong back. i think i have enuf in scrap in the basement to do it, so after work today i will break out the table saw again, and start cutting. maybe this weekend i will get some strips on. sheesh...i feel like nothing is getting done. i need to get in gear if i am going to be done before the snow flies (which is when i promised to have the garage clean, so my wife can park her car in it).
