Trailer project work
I continued to work on getting the parts made for my new trailer. I needed to weld up this pipe to make it the proper length.
I laid the pipes in a piece of angle iron to keep it lined up and it’s now ready to weld it up, which I did.
Then I clamped the pieces to make this stuff to the trailer where the parts go, so things will be lined up when I weld it up.
I clamped the mounting pieces onto the trailer.
Ready to weld up
And then set the pipe in them so it’s ready to weld up.
I welded things up and now have two pieces I need to paint.
Paint
I had enough time to get a couple coats of paint on them and will have to put another coat on them another day.
I needed to let the paint dry so I needed to do something else.
Headed up to the forest
I had some old black plastic pipe I wanted to check out. It was abandoned and laying in the forest. I needed to walk along it and check it out to see if I can get it out of where it is to use it on one of my projects.
I parked by this spring. The pipe I want is down and off to the right where it is real steep country, so I headed down that way along the pipe.
It was slow going to get through all the debris following that pipe.
I pulled the pipe up out of all the forest stuff as I walked along it.
Old tank
The pipe went down the hill about a thousand feet or so and ended at this old tank, where I cut it off so I can try to remove it later. I also let the water out of the tank as it’s a good place for mosquitoes.
Water at the spring
I had to make my way back up the hill, back to where my rig was parked. Lucky there was a spring there for a nice drink of water.
Nice day.
