Al gets a Steel Slide
« on: August 27, 2010, 04:51:22 PM »
Ok, so it took about 3 hours but that's neither one of us having any experience before putting one of these together. Lots of parts and we did this in a Lowe's parking lot as they traveled back through Ohio on Vacation. Made it quite handy to be able to get the plywood cut to size and pick up a few washers we added to the mix.

Here's the pix  :thumbup:

How the 97# package gets to your door. I have to say, this sucker was wrapped very well.

Starting to come together.


Does this look right?  :dunno:



Instructions? You gotta be kidding me.


Frame in the bed


without carpet. Al will do that once he gets home


Loading it up



All done :thumbsup:

Well Mike, it did take a little longer than expected but like you said I'm sure I'll enjoy it for years to come. Thanks again for all your help, I really appreciate it.  :yourock: As you can tell I can get on the site from South Bend, so who knows what the issue was in PA. Now I have a lot of catching up to do.

After an hour or so of making up the cheat sheet  :winkani:, we managed to cross the border without any issues. Sitting at home trying to figure out what to do next. Back to work tomorrow.
