Great thread BTW-I sincerly wish I had read the whole thing before assembly.
Going backwards---------again-------------DR:-( F--k I am bummed!

Don't worry, you won't make this mistake again after you fix it...

Live and learn. sometimes you learn more from your mistakes than if you put it together the first time and "got lucky" everything worked..

Experience teaches you how to make sure that it works next time you put it together from making the mistakes in the past...
