Sons trailer build

[BRUISER]

Well my son decided to start a lawn care service

So he traded some work for a trailer and now he is modifying it.

To my surprise I came home to him drawing parts on my computer and he cut them out on the cnc table with no help. Which is awesome

He laid them out and welded them all up.

He also cut off old jack and made a template for a new jack and new storage box

He is using all his own money for this.

He got his new lawn mower

This should also be in the proud parent thread! Good on him for the motivation and ambition to not be a lump like 90% his age. Good job dad (and mom I’m sure).

Today was a good day

He did 99% of welding and the last 1% I did my welder melted

Made a battery tray so he can use his fancy electric trailer jack

And he found some cool pop up cones that he puts out when he is parked and cutting lawns

i used to operate a one-man lawn care 'business' for 3 years pulling a single axle yard trailer with a white 1996 XJ. Never skipped a beat!

looks so familiar!

Corbin decided he needed a place to store all his tools

So he started to build a shed. All his money and I am just guiding him as he is doing all the work

With a roof

How is it anchored?

 

[BRUISER]

How is it anchored?

He also made enough money to upgrade to a second mower

Them fireball squares are awesome and make somethings stupid simple. Nice job by the young man!

Any bracing going under the front corners to tie back into the trailer?

Edit.... nevermind I think I see some triangles,
