    Guides for a round framed trailer

    Looking for a set of guide post that will secure to a pipe style frame .. Any suggestions or pics of such ? Or is it just a matter of switching out the U-bolts .. Seems like it would be a problem of them spinning ..

    Ahh the memories of crawling around under the house .. Slab house now and glad of it ! Yep I made a separate poop room with door also .. Just wish the Admiral would figure out how to close it ... I mean I'm in it for better or worse but who wants to see that ... LOL!

    Yeah , the homer in me was a little disappointed but it had to happen . I guess he wasn't cut out to be much of a blocker or he tried way to late in life to learn . Not so successful in the NFL ,but plenty successful in life ..

    Got the first small look at our revamped ,kinda, team last night .. TL almost fumbled the ball away on his first snap . LOL! Maybe a bit nervous .. He settled down after that .. From the looks of things Urbs has a lot of work to do on both sides of the ball ..

    Have you seen the old man lately ? I wouldn’t want to try and tackle him . LOL ! I’m pretty sure he was using his hands when he made the diving catch in the end zone the other day at practice .. Don’t count the old guy out just yet .. He’s either hated or loved at nosium. Needs to be tested...

    IDK , they were all done within an hour of each other . I lined the tacky ones up and have a fan blowing across them tonight . We'll see if they cure by tomorrow afternoon ..I think the next coat I may put a dash of NAPTHA in it .. I think I have some on the shelf .

    No real color tone KC .. Maybe a slight amber tint of the varnish ... The epoxy seals the wood and builds some thickness so you don't have to put as many build up layers with the varnish .. Originally I was just gunna epoxy the transom board on the back because it stays submerged a good while...
