My "saga" continues...
My walls are up, but only for a very short while..... I put up the walls with Gorilla Glue (the toughest glue in the world) and screws. I then realized the floor sloped in the back and it was quite noticeable. I also noticed I mis calculated "again" and I was short 1/2" in wall legnth. If I only had one of the two issues I guess I could have fudged it a bit, but 2 issues I need to make it right.
I recommend Gorilla Glue for everything that you don't want to ever come apart ever, ever, ever again. I even Gorilla Glued the screws in my glasses after this experience. I should have videotaped and put on Utube, it would have been a great commercial for Gorilla Glue. But here is a picture of pretty walls.
I noticed the floor sloped on the rear where I paid a welder to weld on 2' to make my trailer a 5x10, it did not slope a little... it sloped ALOT. Initally I thought I could work around that and by the next morning I ripped off the walls. Then I realized the trailer chassis was not level, thus the floor was not level and I had no choice but had to rip off the linoleum to get to the recessed bolts under the linoleum through the deck bolted to the chassis.
I went to my favorite HD store and got a scraper to scrape off the linoleum, and it was going to take me years to do that job and I'm not a good detail person. I really just wanted to lay new linoleum over the old linoleum, but the prep work from the torn spots which I created would have taken just as long to pull up the linoleum. So this is a pic of the old linoleum almost off.
My strategy thus forward is to shim between the chassis and the deck almost 1" worth. Re linoleum and redo walls.
This project is very intriguing to me, even with the learning challenges I am facing. I did not know square and level were two different meanings. I might come off like I am a miss know it all, and confident as all get out, but trust me..., a better definition is "miss know nothing". I'm not scared of learning anything, and try try try try and try and try again, before I admits failure!
So only in this forum will I share my defeats, but to anyone else at HD or the neighbor next door, everything is wonderful and smells like roses!
