Thank you guys for the kind words. It was a PITA looking for the straightest 2x4's, but that's what I did, pick and choose the best ones. But even then your not going to get the straightest 2x4's so the ones with the bends get cut off and you do your best with what you have left I was very lucky with my build. I took my time with the build it took me about 2 weeks, I wish I didn't overkill the stand my son had to help my bring it upstairs when I thought that i could bring it up myself we both struggled with it.
