That reminds me of the bat house incident.
Man I wish I took a picture of that bat house... My husband tried.. he really did... but he should not be allowed near tools...

I'm glad you figured a way to make it work. :)

See now, my FIL would want to make it thicker and heavier to "make it better/stronger/whatever". My husband...ha, he would stand back and watch me fix it, possibly offering help in lifting the heavy object. He knows the difference between screw drivers...but he doesn't know how to use them! hahaha

Anyway, glad you got it fixed up...sorry you had to in the first place!!

I can see your issue! They certainly meant well. My DH built a big board ironing board for me. It is a beauty! Of course, he made it deluxe in every way! A bit wider too! Very nice indeed! Envy of my sewing group, they all want one! He won't do theirs, I feel special that he would do that for me! You should feel special too! It sure beats not having one!

I am one of the lucky ones, he can build anything! It can withstand hurriance winds too!

May I suggest not bolting it down. I have a large board my husband made me to use as a cutting table, I keep it on 2 bookcases but when I want more floor space I can take it off and lean it against the wall (its about 3 X 6 feet). Large enough for a really big cutting mat which I keep in place with double sided adhesive tape. It's heavy enough that the only time it moves is if someone leans against the edge.

Also if it's not bolted in place it's easier to rearrange the room if I want to.
