We found on our 10x12 that there was a surprising amount of play in the frame, after it was erected, especially when the bolts were loosened up. We had to loosen bolts to get our roof windows in and square, then tightened them up again. It looked like things were just not going to fit, but after I loosened bolts, and tugged a bit on the roof frame, it all settled into place so everything worked fine. Have you been able to use a level on the vertical corner posts, to make sure they're all plumb? Used a square to check that the interior corners of your frame (especially at the tops of the walls) are all nice and square? I just keep thinking something has gotten a little "off" in the construction, but of course I can't guarantee that's all it is. I did check the manual for the older version of the 6x8, and the never version, and they have not made any changes to the parts 2,3,4,5 (Front and Rear Crown Beams.) So I don't think they've mixed up any parts for you...those crown beams are the same in both kit versions. Sorry to not have more help...

Monique, The calcium water is no big deal. You mix what they tell you in a little jar. Store the rest in the fridge. The only thing with the Pomona's is that is it hard to dissolve, so I blend one cup of juice with the pectin, then add to the fruit or juice. I tried adding it to the Splenda like they said, but it was really lumpy. I had to take the immersion blender and blend the pot of jelly. Then, I had a lot of foam. I used 4 cups plum juice, the Pomona's dissolved in one cup boiling apple juice (no sugar), calcium water, and 2 cups Splenda. It is wonderful tasting ! I think that stuff will gel anything in the world, too. I am glad you are thinking about taking care of yourself now. I was like that at first, and now am diabetic. It isn't that bad, but it is just a bother because I have to plan my life around eating times, and have to eat certain amounts of certain foods. You really have to be disciplined. You do the same exact things for being prediabetic, if you take care of yourself as you should. Best wishes to you.

"I asked him if he gets a job and there was money left over if he would be okay with me putting money aside for my kids and he said no more than $200 per month. I think that's a little low but then again, if there's no money to begin with, then $200 seems like a lot." This statement is telling. You are 'asking' him. "IF" he gets a job.. "WOULD IT BE OKAY"... "HE SAID NO MORE THAN $200 PER MONTH".... I'm not a big Dr. Phil fan but the first thing that came to mind is 'ARE YOU KIDDING ME????' and then he has set his standards at $8 an hour? That's minimum wage! McDonald's pays $8 an hour and they are always hiring and they have flexible schedules and very few towns don't have one nearby. But, something tells me he will have another excuse why he can't work at McDonalds. My daughter's father married a girl after we split up. She was still a teenager and he was in his early 20's. They've had 4 kids together since and he has NEVER held a job long enough to pay me much of the measley $72 a month in child support that was ordered in 1991. Over the years, I've gotten checks here and there for $10 or 20... which tells me he isn't making much when he does work. I understand your DH's reasoning for not 'going after her' because she doesn't work and can't pay anyways because of her other kids. I never went after my ex, but I did get an order and I let the arrears build because SOMEDAY he may have something. He now owes me 18 years of support and with interest added each month, even though the actual support is not being added (our daughter is 18), the interest added is more than the original support and that amount is growing and will continue to grow until he pays it. There is no satisfaction for me that he has no license... that law wasn't in effect when I got the order, but my daughter was entitled to be supported. I feel terribly sorry for his other children and most of all, I feel terribly sorry for his wife. If he hasn't worked enough to pay me $72 a month, then she has been the one supporting him and their children for the last 18 years (along with public assistance). That is one of the reasons I have never pursued contempt or collection. BUT I have worked and I have supported MY daughter (and other children) and I would NEVER have let someone else support my responsibility. The fact that your husband has set his standard at minimum wage tells me that he probably has very little education or work experience. He also has an obligation to his children to get a support order, it really shouldn't be his choice. His ex, just like mine, may someday get a job. Their other kids will grow up and then they may be able to pay the arrears and who knows, maybe they'll have life insurance or some other benefits someday. Some states only allow you to get child support from the day you ask for it while others will let you go back in time, but in my opinion, it is immoral for one person to give up the right of another person and child support is the right of the child. If he doesn't want it, put it in the bank for the child. If he is going to be a SAHD, he needs to do the housework so you don't have to do housework after a day of working at your job and he can take classes or work from home if he really wanted to. And I understand that he feels it's not worth it for an extra $100 a month. When I was with my exBF (he had 3 kids & I had 3 kids. Neither got support for any of the kids), I was offered a job in social services making $7.51 an hour (this was when minimum wage was $4.25 an hour) with a 40 hour traditional work week. He was a deputy and his shift changed every three months. For a time, we were both working days and had to put the kids in daycare.. $60.00 a day if I remember correctly. I was making $7.51 an hour for 8 hours so it was actually costing me money to work. But, we stuck it out and eventually, I received pay increases and we didn't always need that much childcare as the kids got older. If I had thrown up my hands and said "I can't work for less than the childcare!", maybe I would have had to still work in fast food or retail jobs. I'm not putting down those jobs either but they didn't have the benefits I got working in social services... benefits my kids needed. I would pick up cans or work cleaning toilets for under minimum wage if my kids' needs were not being met. So, I disagree that it's not worth it to work for an extra $100 a month after daycare because he will get work experience, pay increases and possibly benefits that eventually make it worth it. Sitting on the couch does not increase job marketability when he does decide to get a job. I don't know how old he is but the longer he stays out of the job market, the tougher it will be to get a better than minimum wage job and the more likely it will be you or some other woman will be supporting him for the rest of his life. My ex is in his 40's and has never had a real job.. so the chances are slim he'll ever get one. My DH has custody of his DD9 and his ex also doesn't work, but he got an order and the arrears are building up. It isn't for the 'satisfaction' of taking her license or tormenting her (as she thinks he is only doing it because I am telling him to so I can torment her)... it's because they have children and their children have a right to be supported. She is also in her late 30's and has never worked. It makes me wonder what these people that rely on someone else to support them are going to do when their 'support person' is gone and they have to take care of themselves? In my opinion, it's the worse case scenario when they turn to their kids and mooch off the grown kids when nobody is left to take care of them. If my DH were to refuse to go after support for his kid AND refuse to work for less than any amount... well that wouldn't happen because I wouldn't have married him. But, I can tell you what, if he wasn't working or getting support for his kid and I am working and getting support for mine, I sure the hell would not be ASKING him how much I can keep of my own money!
