It’s amazing how much I can walk in a day without knowing it.

I leveled the trailer. I need to get bigger footing blocks as the front sways a bit. My knees are telling me not to pull that jack anymore.

It’s an ap that came on my iPhone 7+. The downside is for it to work it needs to be on me.

I’m bringing out the big guns (jack stands) for this one. The trailer needs to be supported by the stands so when the tires lose air it won’t sag.

Dragging this floor jack in lose gravel isn’t much fun.

Making good progress. Those jack stands will also keep the tires from acquiring flat spots.
And, no. Floor Jack's and gravel do not play well together.

The trailer has been painted a Plymouth Brown. It was a popular eighteenth and and nineteenth century color.

In different light the color changes. I want it to blend into the background without it looking camouflage. I still need to put it on a more permanent foundation.
