Decked

       Yesterday we went shopping for 3.45", marine grade plywood. Claiming my veteran status resulted in a 20% discount at Lowe's, Brookings, SD. With the price of lumber that was a nice savings on 4 sheets of 4'X8'.

      Today we applied the plywood sheeting to the deck of my 16' X 8' trailer. The old deck of the trailer was badly rotted. Rather than removing the old deck we laid the new plywood decking over it. Then with 2.5" screws fastened the new to the old. Voila it's ready to carry tractors and other machinery. 

     The "we" needs some explanation. Bret, who is 20 plus years younger than I, lives down the street and was willing to "help" me. The reality is that I "helped" him. His knowledge and skills carried the project. This decking that would have taken me days, with his leadership was done in four hours. 4' X  8' sheets of .75" plywood are much heavier than in the past. 😀

Takk for alt,
