    Yeah It looked like more than one when I first pulled in, but I guess the Werner is the only one left. That crap is everywhere.

    Werner must not pay drivers for a wash.

    It’s. 1 1/4” laminated strips, like a butcher block. Tongue and groove. Same as original. $10 a foot, 11 ft total. 40 screws. Should have gone with 3- 4’ pcs. But 2-4’ and a 3’ good enough. Finally got the 3’ fitted and screwed in. 2 to go. $150, and 20 hrs of my slow Labor. Shop probably been at least 10 hrs. Probably more. I had shoes and drums done there once, over $2000. Trailer parts are cheap, it’s the time and aggravation that costs.

    The picture makes it look like a big hole, but each board is only 12” wide, So 11’ length total. 11 sq.ft.

    So.

    I got two of those rush loads off.

    Now I’m loading for a farmer who is loading rice, doesn’t understand “Big trailer No Fill it up.”

    They always say the same thing.
    “Don’t look like you got much in that there trailer.”

    Me “You just put 5 combine loads in there, it’s loaded.”

    “I bet we could put 2000 bushel on that there trailer.”

    Me “You can also practice falling down, bleeding and screaming for help, cause that’s what’s gonna happen if you do.”

    “You’re a Jerk, you know that.”

    Me “Yep, but I’ve come to accept that, at least I’m not an idiot.”

    No idea. Probably around 70 pounds. As it is difficult ot lift.

    Love that power Aide as well. Tastes like Kool Aid.

    That was my thought as well. Looked alot like my fathers camp that is no more.

    Hardwood floors look nice when they're done, but laying it is hard work.

    We're going ceramic tile for much of the house. Holds up to our fur children better.
