other home is not real far away and back roads
well anyway,bought trailer off CL $200 Then spent 300 dollars for new bearings, new tires, spare tire and rim... I said wow Honey how come??? well anyway its a strong 16 foot boat trailerby 5 foot...wide
Hubby wired up running and braking and lights he got recently . Case we drive somewhere after or during dark
so far Hubby bolted down pressure treated.. 2 by 8 's 6 feet long so far. trailer had no floor just galvanized I beams and leaf springs. I wanted him to just do plywood floor. But he said this way much stronger. But of course I said yeah making trailer heavier...LOL..Cause he said long I mean as wide, as he could make it would be 11 feet long the coop that is...and 6 foot wide....
got plywood for sides and several rv looking sliding windows....
trying to find corrugated aluminum to exterior face the coop.. making it lighter
So far can only find steel... corrugated panels.... yeah I know vinyl siding....
thinking about aluminum coil stock. But Hubby said hard to keep flat when installing it...
Several weeks ago a guy had some 3 ft by 12 foot , his ad, said , corrugated alum roofing salvaged from barn... But by the time I finally called the CL seller he already sold the 12 foot lenghts and had only 8 or so 2 by 8 ft lengths left. This supposedly all was from a salvaged barn materials. 40 miles away from here...
Wish I had a bunch of old licnse lates.. that would be neat.. got just several now
anyway got some "Zappone" brand shingles left from my former homes roof.. But they seem so nice to use on a chicken coop.. But did use a few scraps on some feed shelters..LOL. The shingles are textured and expensive and like 12 "by 6" and WHITE... or so...It was such a pretty roof....so I keep running on Sorry
we left the other whole box of shingles with the new owner.... which as prob a mistake .. but whatever....
so guess its yellow pages time or salvage places to find corrugated aluminum
so will post pic soon
I just trying to upload pic .. it must be too big... I cant remember how I was able to last time...yall
any more ideas yall???
