Angry A bunch of bool

Hey, here's one for y'all.

I did a a coupld bool ops on a box, then beveled it a bit. Now I want the middle of the box, and that only to have a grating. Now normally this would just be a matter of subdividing and beveling... no problem. Did that. Already have a grate. But this one is different because of the bools.

I made another box, did some bevels, inverse-selected the polys and deleted them so I would have a bunch of little boxes. Then I beveled them out. The idea was that I would select the top and bottom surfaces and run a bool subtract so I would have the hollow spaces for the grating. But with any bool or stencil I get the error message you see on the screen.

You see, I dont want the whole apparatus booled either. Only the middle part so it looks like a grating inside a frame.

Not sure what to do now.
