Now that the ATV is running smoothly again, it was time to bring the big trailer back to life. We inherited this trailer when we moved here. It's a lot bigger than the small one Kevin rebuilt from scratch after the fire in the carport... the one we use every week for fishing. We use the big one now and then for heavier items, like logs and dirt. Kevin used it this past week and as he pulled it behind the ATV, he felt the whole thing shaking. He looked around and the sides were lopsided. Not good. Totally unstable. We noticed the bottom of the trailer was deteriorating.
When I looked at it, I thought that was the end of our trailer. But what do I know? Kevin said it wasn't a big deal... an relatively easy fix. We went down to San Marcos to buy a few nuts and bolts to replace the old rusted ones. When we got home he took everything apart, and put it all back together again, added some aluminium to cover a gaping hole to add extra strength. Of course he did... because that's what my hubby does.

Honestly I think you guys should start up a Red Green show there. I'd watch it.

Hahaha... I don't think Kevin has ever seen that show, but I sure have. Classic Canadian television. Thanks for your unwavering support, Ingrid.
