We had a frame sit and wait for over 2 years before the owner decided that the time was right to raise it...
We had to un-package and re-testfit everything, and re-cut some things that had moved too much.
So, ya, it was more work, but the client was aware of this and knew that we would be having to replace some of the frame (mostly the braces).
Still, the frame went up and stands beautiful today... smile
