Happy Trails, Old Pickup

My old 1964 Chevy truck is gone.  But it's not a sad day, because I'm very happy to see it go to a wonderful lady.  A friend at work mentioned many weeks ago that his wife would be very interested in it.  In the end, it went to her.

So congratulations, old pickup truck.  You found a good and happy home!  Your new owner looks overjoyed!

Canoe Trailer Progress

Busy days, so slow progress, but I do get an occasional hour or two to continue work on this project.

I have the floor nearly finished.  I used 2x4s, and made what looks like a box frame for a bed.  I chose to keep those 2x4s flat just to keep things as low as possible.

Then, using some nice plywood from crates from work, I put down the floor.

Yeah - all this is just cheap pine, but I plan to waterproof it with leftovers from my front porch project.  And if it starts rotting away in a few years, I can just easily replace it.

Next to do:  Start building the sides of the box.  I'm initially thinking an 18 inch open space will be just right - right for packs, coolers, and totes, and just the right height for loading canoes on top without pushing them over our heads.
