Continued with the cage install as the 4th up here was very, very wet.
The issue in fitting it was the lower holes, once you put the cage in place and it spaced it out about 1/4" or so
I took both sides out and elongated the holes
I put them back in and it all lined up
Everything sits nice now with a few tweaks here and there (yes, I know I need a new floor as well, but we do what we can do with what we have at the time).
And hung up a few signs... wife thought she was funny for Father's Day...
and my favorite saying... can't fix it! Although the beer statement is absolutely true as well.
