Cabinet prep and deck mounting

Karissa grabbed the sander and went to town. She sanded all of the outside visible edges on the kitchen cabinet. Took the door hardware off and sanded the doors, too. When that was done, she grabbed a paint brush and primered the lot.

While she was busy, I drilled holes through the deck and chassis for carriage bolts. After tightening everything up, I realized that I should have laid down a bead of caulk between the layers. Out came the bolts, recaulked everything, and rebolted things, too. 10 minutes with an angle grinder and the bolt excess was trimmed away. Primered and painted them.

The trailer is now ready to make its maiden voyage, out to pick up more plywood and veneer.

    Wow! that’s a really professional looking job.
    When do you think it’ll be road-ready?
