JACKED UP

THE FIRST THING IN OUR PORCH PROJECT IS TO JACK UP THE TRAILER AND GET THE WEIGHT OFF THE WHEELS. WHEN I WENT AROUND TO THE FAR SIDE OF THE TRAILER I FOUND THE TIRES WERE ALMOST FLAT.  GUESS I NEEDED NEW TIRES WORSE THAN I THOUGHT.




GEEEES, JUST HOW OLD ARE THESE TIRES? THAT’S WHAT THE BLOG IS FOR.  I BOUGHT THESE TIRES IN SEPTEMBER OF 2006 IN WAUKON, IOWA.  THE DESERT SUN DOES RAISE HELL ON RUBBER AND PLASTIC PARTS.

THE VERY LOW (FLAT) TIRES MADE THE CLEARANCE UNDER THE TRAILER EVEN WORSE AS I SLID AROUND ON MY BELLY OR BACK I THE DESERT GRAVEL JACKING UP THE TRAILER TO PUT FOUR NEW JACK STANDS UNDERNEATH.




TODAY’S PROJECT TAXED MY TECHNICAL ABILITIES INVOLVING TOOLS TO THE MAX, AND WE HAVE A MEETING ON SUNDAY AFTERNOON WITH A CONTRACTOR FOR PORCH CONSTRUCTION.

I’LL KEEP YOU POSTED.
