We don't own a dog. But we do have a cute ferret named Snowy. He has visited my new shipping department and had a good time exploring every nook and cranny. Since the room is ferret proof he can come and visit me from time to time. At least he will dust the hard-to-reach areas.

OK today it stopped raining so I decided to finish the interior of the trailer. I needed to cap the door insulation so it does not get damaged. I had some leftover aluminum flashing roll that i had used to cap the exterior wood on my house.

I used the flashing to cove the surface of the doors. I cut narrow pieces to cap the sides of the insulation on the doors and also trim the front sheets. I also used the flashing as end caps to the walls by the front door as well as an area above the doors that had exposed fiberglass insulation.

Zev that is simply an amazing transformation.

Your work is always impressive.

UPDATE 3-16-2011

Since the last posting I have managed to shore up the tailer on a 6x6 Pressure Treated timbers. I went with a 5 level shoring. Three 4 foot pieces perpendicular to the frame 9 foot outside to outside spacing. Center member was 5 foot on center from edge. 2nd level has two 10 footers parallel with the frame 6 inches from edges of previous level. 3rd level back to three 4 footers same spacing as first level. 4th level two 10 footers same as level 2. 5th level I used 7 footers spaced as in 1st and 3rd levels.

The reason i used longer timbers on the top level was to have the shoring extend to the side walls -so I can add some additional blocking up to the I beam joists to stabilize the trailer better.

Today I went out there and leveled out my shoring. i have to jack up the front of the trailer and add 1-1/2" on top of the stack. I had to add 3/4" to the center stack. Trailer is now level! PICTURES TO FOLLOW SHORTLY...

Thanks for the nice compliment.

FYI we live in Hurricane Country so it's important to secure the trailers in place if you want it to be there after the storm!

Remember a little storm called Katrina?
