Inner covers
« on: July 17, 2016, 12:13:15 pm »
Just bought 2 pine boards (9 3/4 x 7/8" by eight foot) and a sheet of 3/8" plywood and got enough to build 15 inner covers at least.
Didn't take me long at all. Inner covers up here are around $13 plus tax = $225. Sheet of plywood was $25 and the boards were $10.
My time? Priceless! :) :D

I see that hammer Perry, I'd suppose that all you have to do is show that hammer to the wood and it jumps into position...I would.  ;)

Looks real good Perry.

I picked up a swarm back in the spring at Lowes and the manager gave me two sheets of 3/8" plywood, what a deal!!
