New (old) trailer!

Picked up a friend's ancient trailer from their home up the road and sat in the car trembling on the way back, fearing the brittle marine-ply bottom would drop out and hit the car behind us.

But it all went well and we brought it home in one piece.

Here's our catch:

And this is its skeleton:

One of the tyres keeps deflating -- a dodgy valve -- so we're having to get that looked into. Next jobs: angle grinder, get the rust off, tyre back on, get the trailer to a guy who can sort out a small crack in the centre bar, a can of Hammerite metal paint, put a ring through the side of the house so we can chain it in the drive rather than keeping it in the backyard like this, get fresh marine plywood cut and fitted to the bottom and sides, wire up the electrics and the second chain -- and once we've finally managed to do all of that, we can use it -- for manure, for firewood, for, oh, we'll see. We'll come up with something.
