The one 8,479 Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 Is that chipboard that he could make a hole in it ?? Quote Link to post
tote 854 Posted June 2, 2010 Report Share Posted June 2, 2010 The wood looks rotten Kay [that's as in worn out not terrible]. Another piece of inch thick plywood would do the job. Quote Link to post
