Re: Removing Penthouse

Awesome! Thanks a lot!
I have read through there before. It's been a big help! It's hard to find all the top info when I am actually trying to use some of it!

I wish there was a subforum for...

Thanks guys! I will for sure get the larger bolts you guys have mentioned before and the 2x4's are a good idea too!
