No work to do on the t4 this weekend, but what with the exceptional weather its finally time to start back up again on operation trailer build, I'd got the floor done last autumn but by mid October I'd run out of enthusiasm.

I chanced upon a 2m square pallet that was being thrown away at work because the bracing on the bottom was all broken and the corners were all smashed, it was made of 2 layers of 18mm plywood so 4 2m x1m sheets in total, and as the trailer measures 1.6m x 3.2m it was perfect for the job, and as I planned to do 600mm high sides I just dropped 100mm off my planning and zipped everything down the middle, 500mm seems ample, and I've also got a sheet left over which is handy.

Then one of my other halfs friends had put a load of old timber on a Freecycle page, we caught them a few minutes before they were about to set off for the tip, mainly consisting of 4x2 and 2x2, it couldn't be any more perfect, I got this far in about 5 hours this afternoon, tomorrow I need to finish the framework to brace it all so it's solid, make the reat door, fit and wire the lights and she'll be ready to tow, I'll ply the inside if I can lay my hands on a couple more sheets of plywood and black bitumen the whole thing over the coming weeks.
