        This all started because Caribou didn't send any installation
instructions with the top - and, as a result, I had no idea what or how
much was involved in doing it myself. I want to thank everyone who
responded - my current thought is to have someone put in on who's done
it before.

        I'll watch out for this - thanks for the warning.
