So, now we're going to go to a side that we haven't been on yet. We'll flip it around. OKay. We can just kind of put this right here for now so we know what we're working with. Once again, we're going to start in the middle of the stretcher, so we're going to end up putting the nail about right there. Now, there isn't a staple on this side, but we still want to pull. We're not really pulling against anything, but we want to pull a little bit just so we can straighten this out because there are two staples here and we don't want to get any folds in the fabric like that. Note fold, OKay. So, pull, not too tightly. Just till you can feel that you're really pulling, bring it over and again, towards the middle, nearly at the top put in the staple. OKay. So there you go.
