I asked my engineer husband to make a wooden board to cover my board.(I want it removable.) I actually borrowed one to copy. I asked,,,,"Just copy this one. Don't improve on it. Don't change it, just copy it."
Well, he finally did...couldn't use plywood, he made it out of OAK that he found at the Restore shop--pretty heavy but he did listen this time and I've got my board.
I do have a deck outside that 20 elephants can dance on at the same time...anybody want to party? It is so over-designed! I feel your pain!
