The materials for our house siding project will be delivered Friday. Once I have the Z flashing for the starter row of the new siding, i'll have to go around the entire 200ft perimeter of the house and cut a groove in the concrete porch with a diamond blade. Should be a lot of fun....not.

So in the slack time today, I decided to repair an old trailer. My father in law used to convert boat trailers to work trailers. One of them had severely rusted inside the tongue of the trailer and actually collapsed while I was pulling a load. We spliced the tongue together with some self driller / self tapper screws and some 2x4s on the side of the road and limped home. Today I removed the tongue and replaced it with a thick wall square tube and put a new coupler on it.

The plan for now is to convert it into a fire trailer. I'll put a 300gallon IBC tote on it and a water pump. One of the locals is a fire fighter and he said a pressure washer set to mist is a hell of a thing. he said with the fine atomization of the water, all those microscopic water drops absorb so much heat the fire cannot sustain.

So.... We have a golf cart with 48v LFP battery and a 3kw inverter. That'll be come part of this fire trailer as well. I'll be able to run a pressure pump with a garden hose and also a pressure washer from that inverter.
