Oh c'mon your not telling us the interesting part. Why do you need
to take it apart? Why won't a 14' beam with 21" cut off it work?

Why are you calling it a beam? Is it a shelf?


My money is on it's a beam for a science, engineering, or shop class. Darro wants us to do his homework for him.


That would explain why it has to be easily dismantled-- and he hasn't
seemed concerned if it lasts more than an hour.

I wouldn't fault him [her?] for asking here. We *are* a resource--
sometimes a real good one.
