Between helping friends haul away woody debris and attending our neighbor’s annual Russian Easter Brunch, we didn’t get much work done on the house. But I did find the time to work on a fun (but necessary) project.  Some of you may recall last year when Dozy broke an axle and got stuck in the middle of our driveway. Long story short, we traded our small utility trailer for one capable of carrying Dozy. Unfortunately neither of our current vehicles is big & strong enough to pull it.  We still needed a small utility trailer that we could pull.  I lucked on to a free trailer frame and set about this weekend to fix it up.  With some salvaged materials (old boat trailer fenders, plywood concrete forms from a friend and pressure treated planks that were laying about), we only had to spend about $40 on some new bolts, a sheet of plywood and a couple cans of spray paint. Et voila!  Now we can pick up materials and haul more “Stuff”. We will also use it on our property hauling firewood from the downed trees along our driveway.

While I worked hard on the trailer, Jeff watched from Pugsley, making sure I set the fenders high enough for ample wheel clearance.
