And what country can preserve its liberties if their rulers are not warned from time to time that their people preserve the spirit of resistance? Let them take arms. The remedy is to set them right as to facts, pardon and pacify them. What signify a few lives lost in a century or two? The tree of liberty must be refreshed from time to time with the blood of patriots and tyrants.
I've replaced all the boards in my trailer by bending them in the middle like that, and it was a big enough PITA as it was without taking a shot to the boys.
Seemed like I was replacing 3 or 4 boards every year. About 10 years ago I had a local welding shop put a diamond tread floor on the bitch. Spendy, but if I'd waited till a month or so ago, the steel would probably have been cheaper than the wood.
Most of these trailers have a single piece of strap or flat bar holding the boards in place. I've found its easier to grind a few welds and re-tack, than go through what he went endured.
Pancakes for breakfast!
ReplyDeleteAlways wondered how they replaced the boards without unwelding hold downs. Answer: painfully in squeaky voice
ReplyDeleteI noticed that was the first board to be replaced. I hope there's a little something in that tool cart for swelling.....
DeleteRang his bells! Gee, did I spell that correctly?
ReplyDeleteI don't know about anyone else but my legs just crossed involuntarily.
ReplyDelete(DeplorabeFloridaMikey) I crossed my legs AND groaned! That's a big hurt.

Did my trailer a few years ago as well. Nope steel went through the roof before lumber.
DeleteOUCH!
ReplyDeleteAnd just to add more 'ouch' to the 'ouch'...those are 2x's. Little extra ooomph in the spring back.
