Thanks for the replies

I like the idea of a shower curtain. I called my boyfriend (he's the one who is going to build the major part of the table) and he wants to know if he could put the shower curtain (he likes the idea too) at the bottom (on the plywood) and put some sylicone to attach the shower curtain to the bottom? He wants to know if the tarp is used for the bottom or the sides because he would like to leave the the hard wood with 5 coats of sealer on the interior sides?

The thing is, would it be easier to clean with the tarp on the sides (my vet scared me with the salmonela thing!)

Thanks

I would lay it on the bottom, push it into the corners, then fold it up the sides a bit, using "hospital corners" to make it smooth, then staple the sides up above the substrate line. That way the whole thing is one piece and you shouldn't have any seepage or leaks.

Yep Isa, I agree with Yvonne. I did it as she has stated and it is much easier to clean.
Salmonella is always a possibility but if you practice good hand washing techniques you should have no trouble. I have handled replies since I was a kid some 40 years or so and no salmonella so far.
