Yeah, hopefully he's still paying attention...:)

Those are some good ideas, I'll be sure to remember them!  ALso, you can
hold a lighted match or lighter close to any areas where you think there
may be leaks.  If the flame wavers when you move the cone in and out,
you've found a leak.  Another trick I used on my box was to absolutely coat
the inside of the box with a product called "Stop Leak".  It's like
spraying a really thick coat of paint, and I think it did a pretty good job
of sealing all the joints.

Yeah I must say I enjoyed building mine too, so much so that I constantly
have to convince myself I don't really need to build myself a new one every
6 months!! :)
