Our welder is the Bomb!!

Well that didn't take long, it was so very nice to not only have been given a completion date for the welding but then to have it done early and beyond fabulous! I had expected that I wouldn't be blogging again until next week but I got a text this afternoon from our welder and he was done with the trailer!

He had to remove the red powder coating on part of the tongue so that the weld would hold properly.  We went over the welds he used and how he added a bar to hold the chain, then when we went to put the wheel on it wasn't the right one.  Oops, the neck wasn't wide enough but that wasn't an issue, we walked back to his shop found the right one and then we got to watch him in action.  Man oh man he made it look like a walk in the park.

He was such a pleasure and was worried because he didn't have chairs so we could sit.  I giggled and told him I was just happy to watch him work.  I enjoyed it thoroughly watching him measure everything out with ease, welding, grinding, and buffing things out to a beautiful finished product.  He asked if I wanted him to paint it and I told him it doesn't need to be that pretty it only goes on to move the trailer around.

Just about the time we were swinging the trailer around to hook it up his lovely wife came back from the store and asked how we liked his work.  These folks are like part of the family you just feel so at ease with them both.  He chuckled and said he can guarantee that hitch and tongue jack were not going anywhere and would last a lifetime.  He saw the front corner where the side skin doesn't fit right and fixed that the best he could so it wouldn't leak.... we didn't even ask him to.

He loved the work we had done to it and said we have a ways to go but he can see we are putting quality into it and eventually it will be a lovely trailer.

Watching the master at work.
