    Bon Temps!
    Bud I'm going to put the lift under one of the awning here till a later date. I may paint it before installing here. I just called my Bud with the Flounder boat so he can bring in his boat for the light installation next week. After I will get back on the Caddy to get it out. That plate of Crappie pictured has the two fillets of the Slab caught the last time we went fishing. I checked Jourdan River yesterday afternoon after painting, the water was 52 degrees and just like the Wastehouse - no fish. Temps are too cold from McLeod Park up.

    That's Rustoleum top coat and a thin one at that. I don't have time to put another coat before we load the lift on it, it's killin' me to let it go like this but I have no choice.

    Default The Trailer has Left the Building!

    Jumped on bolting the boards down as soon as I walked in the shop this morning. Using door frame shims I first work out the reveal of each board as best I can then slide under it with a extra long drill bit to drill all the holes. After bolting the boards down well the shims can be removed leaving a attractive finished job, as best as this trailer can look.

    Next was finishing the new wiring, hooking up the lights, testing each circuit with a battery & Test Harness, and making up the trailer connector lead in the front.

    I always drill and tap a new ground, trying to reuse old stuff just gives a bit of grief when we don't need it.

    I keep Convoluted tubing in stock up to 3/4in diameter. Using it to armor my connector leads makes the whole job a little more durable.

    Certainly does help to decrease wear on the wires

    I've already stripped the decking. I will post a picture of the decking when I get it downloaded to my computer. This trailer is going to be the Wash Station trailer for the BBQ Competitions. Rust removal, priming, and painting of the frame must happen before new decking just like the last one.

    I have to do this to my trailer. This will help me tremendously. Thanks
