So I had gotten tired of taping up this cardboard box I cobbled together to store my engine lid when I switched from the GT lid to the Rain tray one and back.

So I decided to have a proper box built.

There is an Amish cabinet maker that has built some other things for us, and always does a beautiful job. I have a limited space where it is stored and giving him precise dimensions, resulted in the Perfect box. Since I have to lift it at an awkward position Light weight was a high priority.

Did also add to the dimensions enough space to accommodate the other lid with the rain tray.

I have some eggcrate foam to add as padding.

Thought I would share this.

a bit of cultural information. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
in australia in the 1960s and 70s a box did not mean a box as we understand it today.

i don't know american slang history.
but for instance in 1980s america a fanny was a backside.
and it was the other side referred to with the same word down here in upside down land.
i used to find myself shocked by what filthy mouths americans had until i processed what part of the anatomy was being referred to. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)

in this instance, let me say that is indeed a very nice box you have had made.
but i would still call it a case. in order to avoid.....probably obsolete slang terminology. (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beer.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/beerchug.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/biggrin.gif)
