Now I am just being frugal and cheap since the car goes in to storage come the end of the month.

I c. I suppose u can buy it next season in dat case?

Maybe I'll give the 2x12 a shot this weekend. You just severely underestimate my knowledge of angles and how tools work. hahahahahaha

instead of high tech screws you could find some object to bang in a few nails.

Nails can potentially back out over time on thin planks?

I wish I lived in an area where apple trees are tall enough to cause structural damage to a car driving by :rofl2:

Yea, basically. Or just hope whatever current action I take is beneficial enough to just last for the next few seasons.

Uve never seen an apple tree?

Glue requires clamps. Can u handle clamps? Might be high tech..

I actually own clamps. Just have never used them!! And no. The apple trees here aren't high enough for a car to go underneath. 6 ft ladder reaches the top of most.
