Took it through the "Property line" trail for the first time today... well one length of it at least. The trip was just to see if it fit, and it kind of did. I'm going to tweek it a little to work better. I picked up a load of firewood on the way through. I'll hammer out the part of the rock under the tire I cut this big pople earlyer in the spring and placed it when I went through in a previous pass today to act as a retaining wall. Ready for gravel!

Yeah, it kinda was. I'm rethinking my game plan. For the amount of time and effort that goes into such a little amount... I may just have a load (or a couple) dumped at my place, then rent a bobcat to load the trailer... but that takes money. LOL Sigh!

Cheater boards stained and hardware all on One year's worth of refundables (there's a layer of bottles underneath LOL) $5 6X8 tarp from PA The stain turn out a little lighter then the hardtop, but for having chosen from color chips at the paint store it's not bad. I can live with it.

Got an entire $44 and change. Wooo hooo! LOL Oh well, it'll buy a case of beer.
I stopped in to see the old timer that I bought the trailer from three years ago. He was thrilled. Took pics and everything. That made my day.

Started on some tree skids today. After taking it through the woods I found that the trailer's tires would butt up against alot of trees that the Jeep had gone around. getting the angles... the hardest part two pieces of 2x2x1/8" cut and welded together while the tire was off to get a better angle to weld, I sprayed the wheel with this stuff. I'd had it for a while but never had the chance. Now it matches the Jeep better! : ) painted and relocated the light the mudflap bolts really did a number on the tire when the springs settled under load! Should do the trick. I can see I'll probably use them as steps. I may skin them and use for small storage

Finished the other side today Had to test it out It barely had a chance to dry. LOL It had 1/3 load of green spruce in it in the vid. Although that tree's getting removed, I'm happy I bothered doing it. I had the steel laying around, so it was just my time. I think it looks more bad a$$! Kind of like an arrow head or something. : )
