Thank you very much! It took me so long but I kind of figured it would. I tried really hard not to let the OCD kick in but I am a stickler for detail. I am thrilled to have finished it. I've never built anything before. I'm also blessed with a husband who is quite patient and accommodating so he deserves credit in this. I'm pretty sure every time he looked at his CC balance, he was cringing (and sweating a little) but he has not expressed any regret. I love him to pieces.
Absolutely not. I cry about everything...
Katie, thanks for making me smile

Hello, my name is Katie and I'm a 41 yo crybaby. (that's what I'd say at a crybabies anonymous meeting)
Thank you! They are farther apart and I have already started cutting pieces to fill the gaps. They are all large breeds but I feel that even though they are 1x2s that are only about 8" or less apart, there may need to be more. I also need to raise it a bit so the slope isn't so steep. That may eliminate the space issue but I will find out pretty soon. I'm glad I attached it with the hinge. I had a feeling I'd need to adjust that.
Thank you very much! I love impatiens too! My mom always had impatiens growing for as long as I can remember. I cannot live without them. They're a necessity for me. I have certain things that I just can't live without, impatiens are one of them.
