Should change my name to trailer park boy..

...and carry around my drink in a glass.

A couple pics of a floor I did yesterday. Old pink carpet had to go.

Once you get in these trailer parks it's hard to get out. Everyone wants something done.
Got another re-roof and raise a floor in a trailer coming up. Keeps the bills paid I guess.

Never leave a teet that still gives Milk.

BUT......Never over Milk. For the teet gets raw and will NEVER give Milk again!

There are enough teats here to not have to over milk, just take some off the top and make the rounds.

Yeah every once in awhile you need to get rid of that carpet before the forensics team arrives and starts spraying luminol.

The carpet wasn't even that bad, just an update for resale. Same trailer I re-roofed, put new siding and built a carport.

Yes!! I let that slide for the sake of Propriety!

Just wonder how much space the new case will take up and if the remainder is enough for a full sized car.

You left it a helluva lot better than it was when you found it.

Too much and not if you want to get out of the car once parked. 12' inside the posts doesn't leave much room for steps. Tight, but doable.

I could not turn off the road straight into the carport in my truck, mind you I drive the worst turning vehicle known to mankind.

The owner put together an ungodly beast of a landing and steps that I will not take a picture of to have my name attached to.

Probably need something like a single step stepavator! You can dress up like Jesus and press a button and freak the neighbors out as you slowly rise to the kitchen door.
