I have tried everything and I cannot tighten those screws. Went into storage room and found small grip pliers and found the screwdriver bits that actually are for the battery screwdriver, I could not get the grip pliers to hold that nut still. There is so little of the nut to grip and not enough space for the pliers to be in the right place, it just doesn’t work. The small wrench that holds the nut is the best thing to use but I don’t have the strength to keep the wrench from turning in my hand - I would need two hands on that wrench to keep it from turning in my hand when the nut turns. It is a lock nut and when the screw finally gets in there it’s not going to loosen. I will continue to think of a way to do this.

I have put the station under the roofed deck where it is perfect for the space I have for it. Did not lay the top or shelf on it due to this is pine pollen season and everything out there has a layer of yellow on it and saw no point in laying those pieces onto the station and them get covered in yellow pollen. This pollen will keep this up for about two more weeks. If you just stood still out there in the open for a while, you would have a yellow layer all over you.
