The answer is "plenty"...I think you and Scott both advocated for expanded metal, but I remember a trailer my brother had that was decked with expanded metal. After a couple of years, it sagged between the supports and I felt I'd have to add supports to go that route and be happy.
Of course, I read after committing to wood about composite decking (trex), which is supposed to be lighter and last forever. Oh, well. I suspect this trailer is larger than I need, so maybe I'll try this rehab thing again next year with lessons learned.

I spent the day working on the trailer in between showers. I had some fun with the tongue.

Mocking up boards, trying to get the spacing right. Looks like adding a couple of 2x8s will get me there, with 8mm spaces between boards.

The wiring is done!



I think I used the connectors from the lighting kit correctly

Quote from: m in sc on April 25, 2024, 10:30:46 AMtrying to avoid the 2 screws to pull the needle? i mean, how many times you planning on pulling the needle? tims right, cables are different. to speed thing sup, while tuning, just run 1 screw till its dialed in, then when it sonde, put the 2nd screw in.  I do this w fuel bowls as well. 2 screws to tune, 4 for running.

This is the kind of thinking that I need to incorporate into myself. I was today years old...

Found these "tin" signs on the clearance shelf at Tractor Supply today. More garage art!
Don't worry, Dennis, I got one for you

Thanks for the story, Ken, and I'm glad you enjoyed Portland. I'm no big city boy, either, but Portland has much to offer. There are some lovely neighborhoods (Jim lives in one) where I could see myself being very happy.
