He’s getting there with the trailer

The trailer repair is coming along slowly, one step at a time.  The rusty bits have been sanded off, and most of the metal has now been painted a rather fetching shade of green, using rust inhibiting paint.    (The tin of paint purchased didn’t go as far as he thought, so Robin will need to buy another one).

The new floor of marine ply has now been bolted on to the chassis.  The friendly staff at Mega Mitre 10 cut it to size, which was really helpful.

It’s after 5.00pm and Robin has declared he’s done quite enough work on the trailer today.  Time to relax with a cool drink.  Jobs still to be done include fixing the electrical wiring, getting the trailer registered, and taking it down to the garage for a Warrant of Fitness.  By next week it might be all finished and roadworthy.  Watch this space.
