Change is Good

It was a wonderful day for a January.


I started on the trailer project. The sides were easy to tear off and they were rotten. The bottom rails had to be cut with a torch.


The teardown revealed that the metal looked good with just some surface rust and the old welds looked fine.


I scraped and took a metal brush to the surfaces....then a shot of flat black paint.


I prepped new boards and stained them with timber oil.


This will look nice.


They still need to be trimmed a bit. I'm not sure how I am going to build the sides. I want something different and a bit more useful.
