| | protecting.We cut and attach our
|
| glass panel laid out on a different table
| |
| | connecting two by fours. Then we check
|

| |
| | that the top of the crate is even with
|
| crate on.First we lay the 1" thick rigid
| |
| | the two by four framework. Then we add a
|
| foam insulation on the table. This comes
| |
| | couple of layers of foam blanket to the
