Re: Week 4 - Building The Crate

Yes really be careful when it comes to weight, out crate has been over for a few years now and every year we pay extra because of it. Plus we have to lift it into the back of a semi and a few pounds makes all of the difference when you are lifting it above your head.

The other thing to be careful of is being able to open and close the crate multiple times without compromising the integrity. While we were at Purdue last year we were frantically drilling new holes because the screws had pulled out of the wood.
