There were also some problems with the wood itself. i had to sand off all the original paint, and thre are some nails still wrapped up in there. I used some molding past and covered up most of the notches.
Not that you need to know this. I ended up writing a background of words from a song i was listening to it at the time. I'm kind of embarassed about that. That sort of stuff was easier to get by when I was 21 and didn't really care about that sort of stuff. So, if you're in the know, you'd know what song that is.
