Journey Begins

Postby fishfinder » Fri Nov 13, 2009 1:38 am

Tomorrow I am driving down to the local HF store and picking up my 1720# trailer. Good news, it's on sale this month. $110 of listed price. I will pick up the front jack while there. This planning is almost as exciting as using the darn thing will be.

Righteous! And yes, planning is almost as a rush as enjoyment

Got a late start this morning. Power was out. Someone knocked down a power pole and it took them a while to get power back. Anyway I came home with the 1720# trailer ($339 till end of the month), front jack, spare tire, and some assorted other items that the saved money allowed me to buy. Gee that sounds like my wife.

Also pulled into the driveway with 300' baseboard that I have to stain and install before I can start on MY project. :D Thanks for all the encouragement.

I'm really excited for you!! I bet you get that baseboard installed in record time!

Even though it's still in boxes, I hope you document it all in :pictures:

And please do share them!
