You have thoroughly confused me. I was going to use two 4'x8's sheets. I just wasn't sure where to make the cuts. I figured I would have to lay them long ways (from front to back) giving me essentially 8'x8'. Then I could rip 3' off of the back edge making it 5'x8' overall. With my remaining two pieces of scrap, both being 3'x4', I could make 6"x2.5' and lay them in the center of the layout between the two larger 5'x4' pieces. I have already made a 5'x8' frame so I am just going to add two joists in the center which will go under the 2 joints (where all 4 seems come together). I could not figure a way to add on to the outside to avoid an overhang so I am just going to settle for 3" on each side sticking out. Is that basically what you were trying to say as far as the cuts and how to lay it out? You lost me with the 1'6" thing and the 8 main 8' lengths. What do you think of my escape track? IS it ok? I still can't get the wye to work and I don't think I like the double slip.
