I think it is great that your boys get to work with you to build your trailer. Extra hands might come in handy. May 1 will be here before you know it. Thanks for posting the great photos. :thumbsup:

Awesome job so far, sounds like we came to a similar conclusion! Have two kids, so was looking for a quality trailer that had bunks, ended up starting a CTC not too long ago. Look forward to following along.

Went to Lowe’s and had them mix the paint. I picked out a few pretty wild greens, and told the workers to pick the loudest, more obnoxious one... lol they thought I was crazy, but I love it.

It goes from lime green to kind of a lighter pea green depending on the lighting...

I’ll be doing bright white trim, ceiling, bench, and cabinets...

I decided not to use the flooring I got from my cousin (it was too heavy.) I got some stuff from Lowes. It came on a 12' wide roll, so I bought a 7' long piece... The v nose portion will have cabinets built over it, so I wasn't worried about covering that with flooring. I also got the ceiling pretty much finished... I still need to put in a lot more screws, but my back was killing me so I stopped... It's a pain in the butt, you have to predrill, then put in self tappers.... :thumbdown:

You can also see that I got the wiring ran out to where the switches are going...
