I will talk to our switch builder about it. I know a couple of the switches are currently held down too tightly due to having the wrong size...
I would have to start with one and mess with it. I do not have any tortoises on hand, but I do have a working familiarity with them. The big...
I have access to a free 3D parametric modeling software, so I am going to design up the bench in that. Possibly see if I can get a to-scale image...
Given the odd angles of a few industries, especially around the Paper Supply Company, I think I can take a liberty on Roberts Furniture and make...
