Well, Ron, I meant I felt well prepared for most things. One big pop came real close to making me jump off my feet - it was a deep-throated boom. I thought for sure it was a gonner! I think most of the noise came from the large blocks of wood at the top in the back between the vertical posts. I had one or two clamps on each post, but also had several on the in-between pieces of wood. I observed movement in these. I actually had to back some clamps off these pieces and put more torque on the clamps at the posts to minimize movement of these blocks. I also made sure one bolt went through each post. I think much of the popping came from the in-between wood piece movement, and some from the verical posts.
