All done with the floor. So far so good. Though I have found how cheap the tile really is. Some of the tiles weren't perfectly square, so they left very very small gaps. Hard to notice, but easy if you're the one doing the job. All in all it turned out pretty well. Glad it's done and I can relax the rest of the weekend. Thanks for the kind words, Jim.

I also got my grades for school. Ended up finishing up the year with 101%. Pretty proud of that.

Ha ha, the trails we find up there have parking lots, so it's not bad. I do get some funny looks pulling a trailer worth 10x what the tow vehicle is though.

Good job!

Got up to the trailer dealer and was pleasantly surprised at a little misunderstanding. Apparently the trailer they quoted me $1,995 for was the wider 83" model, not the 77" model I asked about. No taxes, fees or BS, I swiped my debit card for exactly $1,995. Then again $100 for a spare tire. Pretty happy with that. My son Ben apparently was too.




We decided to break the trailer in right away and prove the concept, so we loaded my my parents' two ATVs and took them for a ride.




Had a great day.

Nice trailer Tom! Do those removable sides double as ramps? They kind of look like the aluminum ramps you can buy for pickups

Good evening everyone. Got back to CT around 9 this evening. Really worn out, but had a great time up north.

The new trailer is great. We loaded it up again today and found another trail. I hope to get a Pioneer like my parents have, so I was happy to see it fits with a regular quad on the new trailer. A little tight though, but that's okay. It's a regular bus compared to the 5x8 it's replacing.
