Roof Racks For Idiots

The following are some pictures taken the night of March 7th, in Castleman, ON.
When you are an idiot building a roof rack the first thing you gotta do, is find someone who knows how to make a roof rack. This is VERY important. In our case, we were uber-fortunate to have Dan's friend
Chris Graham. Not only does he know what he's doing, but he has the tools to do it! Here you see Chris in his basement workshop, where all the magic happens.

Next step is to put the rack on the roof, 'cause like the saying goes, "If it aint on the roof, it's just a rack." Here you see Dan and Chris checking to make sure the rack is properly lined up.

This is out of order, but I just wanted to suggest that, in spite of the title of this entry, it helps if you aren't an idiot. In this picture, Dan is walking the line.

Here, Dan displays his "contained excitement" as he prepares to drill holes through the roof for the bolts that will hold it down.

Sturdy and solid, the rack is ready to rock. Also, note the great ladder to facilitate access!
All that remains is to slap some tremclad on this sucker and to get a sheet of plywood to act as its bed. Thanks Chris!
