Jordan, That looks like a nice piece of Comb your girls have going there! After reading a lot of posts here I'm hoping for some of those myself. What did you use as a starter strip,Popsicle sticks maybe? Great picture!

Thanks, yes i used popsicle sticks. But i used the jumbo ones.

I dont know why they started building the comb towards the back, closer to the west.
