[SEL] OTnow homebuilding - now nails rulez

[Alan]

Hi Gary,

Sounds to me like you want me to spend money when I don't need to.
Form nails are cheap and my flat bed trailer has a deck of full size 2X8s spaced 
about a half inch apart.
There are many tie down areas to hook a ratchet strap hook.
I have a tote bag with around 65 - 1" X 15' ratchet strap.
 Then to haul big stuff on the trailer I have a large tote with a dozen or so heavy 
ratchet straps
Lots of chains and  binders too.

I will not go buy a bunch of those fancy flip up D-rings,  8>)))

Hey Guys,
How about another approach to the tie down problem. Why not use lift
up tie down rings into the trailer decking and make up some2"x4" or4"
x4" blocks adjustedwith an appropriate length ofall- thread tjoln the
blockkstight againsst the front & back of the wheel.s
Sorry about the typing/spelling, the two halves of my brain aren't
communicating well right now.
