Girl scout cookies are great, and girl scout pack leader or even more yummy
I know your going to hate me for this, but you should go ahead and get longer bolts. That space in the center is a huge void. Your idea to add 3 washers will really be wasted with the big void in the center that really wont trap light or flow air. you should be able to pick up some long enough bolts. I though of using tile spacers cut in the center for spacers, you could maybe even incorporate something like this to keep them from teetering around.
Overall great job though, I love the bolt running through it, I actually thought about it but thought it would be tedious as hell drillings all those holes and getting them lined up![]()
I know you can find long threaded rods you cut to length, I think they may be for lighting, or in hanging stuff from roofs. I will try and find a link.
ok, lets see if I can do medicated math.
current configuration approximately .25" x 11 spaces (including center diamond) = 2.75" * height of 5" (roughly) = 13.75sq"
my configuration, no center diamond. I assume there is 1.5" in the center diamond and that would allow me to add 3 more slats, but that would only add approximately .5" for a total of 3.25" * 5" = 16.25sq"
Now I am looking at it over the Internet, but I see .5" missing, which equals a little bit. I bet that new aluminum holds paint real well though.
