We Sanded the Edges and Cut Out a Hole for Leaf Blower Using a Jigsaw

We Stapled the Tarp On, Then We Duct Taped Where We Thought Air Would Escape

We Cut Out _ Circle From Dry Erase Board and Drilled It Into the Middle of Our Hovercraft on the Tarp Covered Side. Instead of Using a Cariage Bolt, We Used (5) Sheet Metal Screws to Ensure Durability.=)

Exactly 9" Away From the Center, We Cut Out Holes in the Tarp. Evenly Spaced, We Drew Out 4 _ Inch Circles and Cut Them Out Using a Box Cutter.
