Dear J&C
I've just read you blog and its really exciting what you're about to build....
Before you commit to 4' wide read this poll
http://www.tnttt.com/viewtopic.php?f=6&t=550&start=60&hilit=different&view=viewpoll

I changed my design to 5' based on the fact almost 25% of those polled wished they had built it wider. :thinking:

Enjoy building. :thumbsup:

I've a blog with video including my mistakes.....

Thanks Grant

Yeah we bought a half built 4x8 and will finish it and maybe sell when done. I still have the original trailer frame I was going to start on. I think I will build that next summer as a 5+ foot wide over the tires and 9 foot long Then who knows I may build one a year and sell them. I live on a main road and can sell anything out there. Maybe do it as a small money making hobby. I have been looking for something to be able to build and sell out of my barn and this may be what I was looking for.
But for the meantime I can't wait to get this little 4x8 finished up and able to use it by spring

Thanks for the reply ... Good stuff to know.
