    I did but then I dropped an engine in my truck and now it looks like a bomb went off again.:emb: I tried to pull the splitter out Dave and it's so muddy my boots sank up to my ankles! Bugger I can't try it out yet so I guess I'll have to put pics up tomorrow on it.

    Mud hasn't even started here yet. (Maybe tomorrow; probably before that log lift gets finished) ;)

    Heh… I've got a small 4'x5' trailer I started working on in 2003. This year, I call it my 11 year trailer project (I can actually use it, but it still ain't done)

    Ok Dave and Mike I am finally getting at it again.....:thumbs:
    I used 350lb capacity heavy duty hinges ( for now ) to hold it and so far they seem bullet proof. Time will tell! The floor is not level but the lift is even though it looks off.

    While welding the arm for the winch the power went out and back on then I heard BOOM BANG Eee eeee eeeeeeee ( most annoying sound in the world ) we interrupt this broadcast for a severe weather update! I am now soaked head to tow in water from the 60' from my garage to the house.... :drunk: Spring is here.
