After a succesful trip to one of my favorite stores (hardwares) I now have one sheet of 19/32 4 ply underlayment plywood for the floor of the trailer and 2 sheets of 5.2mm luan plywood for the sides and 4 1x2"x8' top choice pine bords for fraiming the box of the trailer. Cost of trip to hardware $ 44.80.

19/32 plywood on floor with 2x4 blocks to space it off the garage, err I mean Trailer Manufacturing Facility assembly floor, and the same trailer frame placed on the ply for assembly. This time I tighened the bolts to hold the frame together and started to assemble the nose (trailer hitch of frame) using the instruction assembly manual that came with the trailer.

I also have manufactured (2) aluminum straps (1.5x9x1/4") brackets to replace the folding hinge brackets suppled to couple the front and rear of the folding trailer. This was just something extra I did because I have the aluminum on hand, you could still use the kit supplied brackets and they will work just fine.

After the trailer frame is assembled completely I will seal the plywood floor using latex primer and finish paint. I will detail what I do when the time comes. Now back to construction, more later.

Total Cost (running total) $ 309.79
