What worked best for me was a 2x4 laid flat and about 3 to 4 inches off the bottom of the box. you can cut the corners to a 45 or just over lap them. May be just me, but it seems like the smaller the box, the harder to keep the momma from laying on one.
We got mothers day stuff to do today, but I wouldn't mind running to deleon and helping you if you need help. Just let me know. I got the tools too. Mike |
