Menu
I am working on a simple website for my boss. I decided to try using bootstrap and opted for version 4. So I have a pretty good template structured out and noticed that the row for the main content extends out past the bounds of the container div. It is the only row on the page that does that. I tried changing spacing with margin or padding on either/both elements and it didn't seem to change anything. I also tried containing the main content inside of a section tag, since the other two rows are contained within header/footer tags and they remain within the bounds. This also did not work. I am probably missing something obvious here. Thank you for any help, I appreciate it.
I highlighted the container just to show its bounding box. I also have the padding removed from it in this screenshot, it is the same problem either way though.

The .row in bootstrap is giving a margin right and left of -15px, override it with a in-line style="margin: auto" and you should be fine.
The aside has a default padding left and right of 15, so in your case you should set the padding-left to 0 making the content fit the grid properly.

Adding the 'no-gutters' class class='row no-gutters' to your bootstrap 4 rows is also a nice way to get rid of margins and paddings.
The gutters between columns in our predefined grid classes can be removed with .no-gutters. This removes the negative margins from .row and the horizontal padding from all immediate children columns.
