Metal Filings Everywhere


The trailer build is underway. Most of the things on my drawings and in my head are working out. I had to cut the tack welds loose on the tongue box and move it about 3/8" to one side. The last cross member was off by 1/8" which put my string off at the tongue by the 3/8". A 4x4 and hydraulic jack took care of the alignment on the rear cross member. Trump cost me an extra $300 on steel so his standing with me is worse than before. 75% of the steel says USS and the other is Canadian.



The blisters have been filled and the barrier coat on the bottom of the keel has been started.


Lee has removed the interior laminate panels and started sanding the wood. It's impossible to sand plywood smooth so another laminate will be used to replace the old cracked laminate.


2 new pieces of firm foam arrived yesterday so Lee can get started on the cushions. Where else do you let compressed foam air up but in the living room.

Well back to work.
