Hey Foxman! I'm just south of you in Wichita falls!
Yeh, it can be confusing getting things together on your start up.....But, I dont think anybody sends directions on how to put stuff together. Can you go into a lil more detail of what questions you have tho? I'm thinking youre wondering about how to do your frames and foundation. Let us know more so we can give you a hunnerd different opinions! :-D We're all good at that part!

your friend,
john

Remember to use a good glue! Titebond III is what I use on the exterior parts.

Does that handle shallow, medium, & deeps? I can't tell by the description, but it doesn't appear too.

For those that don't want to spend $30 on a jig, you can get plans to build a universal jig here -> http://robo.bushkillfarms.com/beekeeping/downloads/

Yea, foams pretty good. You might want to wet the parts if you use this. I use a spray bottle with warm water, activates the glue well.
