AMANDA CLAIRE: So I'm cracking the case now as they say. Actually that sounds like what a private investigator does, crack the case, but no, I'm removing these screws, and this one's got a lot of screws it's got 1-2-3-4-5-6-7-8-9-10-11-12, 12 different screws, and I got to take them all out. So that brings to mind one idea which is that--there's really no need for you to necessarily put all of these screws back if you decide you don't need them. I mean remember a lot of these things were made for kids that leave things outside, and they drop them and they throw them, and so they make these things pretty heavy duty. When I put this thing back together I might not put all 13 screws back into it. I might just put enough to hold it together like I mean, I'm going to have to take 13 screws out but when I put it back together I might find that maybe a screw here and maybe this one and the ones at the corners would be enough and goodbye with a third to a half of those screws. And that just kinda keeps life a little bit easier if you decide you want to open it up again and keep working.
