Hey folks that fix it guy here. Starting this project right we're gonna cut three supports. We're gonna put a drop ear up here, a drop ear down here, and then we'll tie in the water lines. It's always a bummer whenever you have electrical right here. I'm not moving it. It's a bummer because I was gonna build the whole thing and then just push it in place and screw it down. But I can't do that with this right here. So that's why we're putting the drop ear down there.
