How to JDPShack
Steps 151-200
151) Cross cut a 1×3 at 36 in. Use 2 vise grip “C” clamps to clamp the 36 in. 1×3 to the bottom of the top door frame flush to the back edge of the top door frame. Secure with 2 in. wood screws. Fig147
152) Cross cut a 1×3 at 78 in. Use 2 vise grip “C” clamps to clamp the 78 in. 1×3 to the inside of the right side door frame, tight to the top and flush to the back edge of the door frame. Secure with 2 in. wood screws. Fig 148
153) Cross cut a 1×3 at 78 in. Use 2 vise grip “C” clamps to clamp the 78 in. 1×3 to the inside of the left side door frame, tight to the top and flush to the back edge of the door frame. Secure with 2 in. wood screws. Fig 149
154) Attach a mason string to the bottom of the back right side wall corner 2×4 insert, with the string oriented to the outside, extend the string to the bottom of the back left side wall corner 2×4 insert and tightly secure it. Mark both middle vertical 2x4s on the back at the string on both sides of the vertical 2x4s. Measure down 3 ½ in. from each mark and make a new mark. Cross mark all 4 new lower marks with a speed square. Fig150
155) Take down the mason string and attach it to the top of the right side wall back corner insert, with the string oriented to the outside. Extend the string to the top of the left side wall back corner insert and tightly secure it. Mark both vertical 2x4s on the back, at the string, on both sides of each vertical 2×4. Cross mark all 4 upper marks with a speed square. Fig 151
156) Use 4) vise grip “C” clamps. Clamp the vertical 2x4s just below all 8) cross marks, 3/4 in. from the outside edge. Fig 152
Use these clamps to assist in holding up the back girts as you install them.
157) Measure between the back vertical 2x4s at the upper cross marks, just above the clamps, cross cut a 2×4 “back top center girt” at that number. Install the 2×4 back top center girt between the vertical 2x4s just above the upper cross marks and attach with 3 in. wood screws. Repeat between the back vertical 2x4s lower girt marks. Fig 153
158) Measure from the back wall left 2×4 vertical upright at the left side top cross mark, just above the clamp, over to the left side wall top girt inside edge. Crosscut a 2×4 at that number and install the 2×4 back wall top left girt and attach it with 3 in. wood screws. Fig 154
159) Repeat step 158), at the other 3) back girt locations. Then remove the clamps. Fig 155
160) Un-roll 60 in. wide bug screen on the ground across the back wall. Use a T-50 stapler with ½ in stainless steel staples and attach the top of the leading edge of the screen, to the top of the back left corner where the top back girt and top side girt meet, while holding the top of the screen 1 in. above the back top girt. And, leave an extra 6 in. of additional screen beyond the corner. Fig. 156
161) Un-roll enough screen beyond the back right corner and staple the top of the screen to the right side top back girt where the top back girt and top right side girt meet, while holding the top of the screen 1 in. above the top edge of the top back girt. Do not pull the screen tight; leave enough slack so that the screen sags in the middle about 1 ft. Fig 157
