We added nailers ( 1.5''x1.5'' fir ) to add tons and tons of strength. Also we will not be drilling into the plywood making the over all design stronger

there are a few small things we have to still do, but thats almost it. The glass gets here in 10 days so we have some touch up work and doing the plumbing for the sump.
