Okay, we are setting up the wood here so that we can mount a HUUM Drop into it. And since the HUUM weighs 150-ish when it's fully, uh, fully mounted, all you have in the instructions is like for you to, they tell you to, um, these little screws into the side and go back into the frame with no glass. But since we're going to have a bunch of extra weight that the manufacturer may not have accounted for, we actually um, came and added some of the eight screws that go into the cladding or the slats and then into the frame. So we have double reinforcement here. And then we had, we used this as a spacer. Some random piece of scrap wood that was about the right width so that we got equal spacing on all these. Um, just for the look.
