This IS a palace! I can see how you named it aptly!
Oh yes, been there, done that with putting things on backward.
I actually watched a youtube vid one time where the guy sold the cages, and in the tutorial vid, he had one part on backward, but he left the video up, because I'm sure people learned by that mistake too.
You go Pamela!
@Lillybust - Beautiful cage, and yes, I understand the satisfaction when we get one like this put together by ourselves! I have a wonderful niece that usually helps me with them, and I swear she might disown me if I ask her to help me assemble another cage LOL!
