    Everything went together as expected. The only thing I would add is to watch the two mounting holes on the center mounting brackets. The book has the hole locations at 5/8" from the outside edge. I think that 11/16" from the outside edge would give you a little more adjustability.

    Re: CNC Construction Set Build 4 Blog

    Aluminum is the lightest industrial material for construction, I ask because I am now doing new repairs in an old house. We want to replace the roof with an aluminum roof, but we do not want the roof to weigh many kilograms. Recently changed the parquet and decided to change the roof, helped to install the parquet if anything care homes services. We liked the services and want to change the roof, but for this, you need to choose the material from which the roof will be made. Here I want to know if aluminum is good for our weather conditions, where I heard that it is bad, and in another place, I heard that it is inexpensive and has good characteristics for its cost
