Mikelly Posted April 13, 2004 Share Posted April 13, 2004 Had a buddy of mine who installs carpet for a living over to my house to install some carpet in the family room and the bedroom... Rich has a 31 Ford Street rod pickup truck he has been working on for some time... I casually mentioned I'd be selling my trailer as I was upgrading to something bigger with brakes. He asked what I wanted and I told him the situation... I'm in a time crunch to move it and wanted to make space for the other... So it had to go for cheap... He eyeballed it and then asked if I wanted to trade labor for it... I still owed him for installation and padding on the stuff he was installing in the family room and craig's room. So He made the offer to comp that balance ($290) PLUS install the carpet in the rest of my house (27X16 Master bedroom, Stairway and 11X14 Bedroom) for the remainder of the trailer, since I really wanted more for it and since it was really worth more than I was asking him! So now I have about $1500 worth of carpet to buy at his cost, and the whole house will be done! DONE! He took it when he left. I signed the title and he is gonna bring the tag back to me! Cool COOL COOL! Mike 8) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

denny411 Posted April 14, 2004 Share Posted April 14, 2004 I`ve thought about selling my trailer and building a lighter one, but I think I`ll keep it and build a couple more trailers of various sizes. My current trailer weighs in @3400#, I plan to build a lighter car trailer that weighs 2k or less, as well as a small utility trailer for hauling smaller stuff. Luckily I have room to store them,[either at the house or at the farm] Otherwise I would be stuck with just one. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
