New Trailer Floor

It was past time to put a new floor in the old livestock trailer. It was mostly 2x8 pressure treated but I added a 2x10 and a 2x4 to get the numbers to come out even. That way I didn't have to make the long rip cuts. I worked on the lights and did a little painting too.

The trailer backed into the loading pen.

New pressure treated floor and plywood walls.
Lisa painted the walls and stapled the welded wire.
The wire is so the livestock hooves will have traction.

The welded wire. We had heavy rubber stall mats in there before.
They work okay but are difficult to move so they tend to stay put.
Another problem is they never dry out underneath, which is bad for the wood. 

This is Chance. He's the one that got to go for a ride.

This is the trailer after Chance's ride.
To be fair, we did load him the night before, so he was in there quite a while.
