Another absolutely stupid question but whatever....when I am drilling pilot holes, I only drill them through the first piece correct? For example on the bottom frame pieces...I would pilot the orange piece and not the blue end piece??
As you can tell I know nothing!!

i used one of THESE it drills & countersinks so the screw head is below the surface....perfect for putting an external skin over everything
lowes & home depot have something similar.....in the department w/ the drill bits & such. i like this one better cause it has the adjustable depth guide
