Installation was a piece of cake. The most time consuming part was hand ratcheting all the screws into the 2x6's and also the 12, 4" lag screws into the ceiling joists.
My three ceiling joists were 51" apart instead of 48", so I had to use the 2x6's.
I loaded up the platform last night with some cinder blocks to test the weight overnight, and then tonight lifted the top off.
