This is all the lumber needed for the lower level reinforcement

Went shopping today for the lumber needed for the lower level reinforcement. Doesn’t look like much and cost about $100. Rather heavy though and definitely tested the strength of my rack. Let’s just say the rack was sagging.

Reminds me of building my fence

just enough room for driving

8' lumber fit in my Geo....amazing

easy loading and easy access

I had a smaller car and no roof rack. It just goes to show you that you do not need a huge truck to get lumber home to your project.

I think even the lumber I just bought might have fit in my Geo but I’m not sure it would have handled very well on the way home……
