Framing the Floor Joists

And then a little bit more work later:

It was a long day, with many setbacks between hardware stores, staples, hammer tackers, and a stream of lovely visitors... onto the prying-jacking out of our work so we could get on with the finishing of undercarriage (stainless steel staples with 24" aluminum flashing), then lay the whole thing back in place (lay in this context = sledge hammering), fluffing and cutting in soft cheeked denim cotton insulation, stretching out ye old salvaged tar paper, and! by the end of the day we covered up for rain just in time, so you can't even see all the work. Nice trick.

Welding Continues

The rented welder. This one a Lincoln only 110V, worked well.

More than one bolt holding on the boards on this car hauler. A two person job getting them off. One person holding on top, another from below.

Finishing up.

Rolling out with an ingenious system.

(Remember, my house is blocking the driveway now, so no truck has access here anymore,

until I move further out the driveway at least.)

And there she blows!

Outriggers attached. Real purdy.

Iron Panther

wow, I can't quite believe it:
http://ironpanther.com/
I don't know if that has any connection to the Iron Panther I will mention...

Tonight I sold the trailer I bought for the same amount, though I'm keeping few items from Mr. G. Erausquin, such as two propane tanks. Yes, a fast turn-around, you better believe it!

These are big decisions, and I don't expect myself to have everything all down pat. Moving forward, making decisions as best I can as they come up.

Tomorrow I will go purchase a brand new one, the brand: iron panther. This guy makes a great trailer for a great price, and what with all the work I'd have to do on the other (replacing brake line, perhaps switching hitch out, getting all the rust off, repainting, perhaps getting new tires I realized after the purchase due to max load specifications), I've decided the costs come out even, and this way I'll have new ball bearings and axles.

So that's the update for today.
