So we got some welding done today! Welding goes fast but just like almost everything, the planning and prep work takes so much time. Measuring and measuring and cutting and measuring and aligning cannot be rushed. I am trying to make as few mistakes as possible. Welding is about as permanent as you can make something. We are going to use most of the side support/knee bracing that was originally on the trailer. On those, we will weld on a perimeter rail to support the decking and floor plate.
Tomorrow we will continue welding the rails and then fabricate some floor joist hangers. The floor joist hangers will be welded to the main support beams of the trailer. I'll post up pictures of those as we build and weld those. For now, enjoy some of the welding pics from today.

Being fully clothed in long pants and long sleeves is not real pleasant in 90 degree super humid weather, but "the juice is worth the squeeze".
