[SEL] Trailer Redecked

[Gary Epps]

The new flooring in on the trailer, well nearly.  It turned out to be a 
fairly simple job since the channel on the front of the trailer was created 
using a piece of angle iron that used machine screws to fasten it down. 
Right now I have wedges holding the boards in place until they season for 
awhile.  I don't want to rip the last 2"x8" to make it fit and then have 
shrink from there.  Sicne it is setting out in the sun I should be able to 
add the last board in a week or two.  I have railroad cross ties laying 
across the width of the trailer.

I decided to continue using the stake pockets for tiedowns.  This works well 
for the use I give the trailer.  I can always  install countersunk tie-downs 
later if I wish.

Thanks for all the suggestions and advice.
