    Hmm, I think this free trailer is the shitboxiest thing I own now. Half the welds are crap, nothing is straight and the 'frame' is bent :laughing:

    Been looking at the Hobart Ironman 240; I'm leaning more towards a transformer-based MIG welder.

    I don't know if you've seen the welds on any "manufactured" trailer but I'm sure you can imagine that the same $10/hr welds are holding the country together

    @jubei I didn't forget your long post yesterday about lawns! Going to show my wife as we're both bouncing ideas (and budget) off of each other.

    But you and @Gen1FTMFW gave some good info.

    Oh yes, I've seen that on other stuff too. Its appalling.

    And i can't knock this little trailer too bad - it was used to haul equipment for a church band for years and seems to have mostly held up. I just have to figure out how much I want to put into it for camping and stuff. Or, if I just wanna cut it up.


    Either way its really adding to that plasma cutter want.

    Ever since using a plasma cutter, I can't imagine a shop without one.

    Less lawn the better, like California has water for one anyway

    There's a lot to be said about irrigation too. The amount of plants/grass should be swayed by the irrigation costs. Hardscapes are more expensive on the front end, but are cheaper in the long run when compared against irrigation cost. Really depends on how long you want to be in a place too.

    We are on a well and don't pay much for water, hence the larger grass area. Definitely wouldn't do something like this on city water (especially in CA).

    All the cars here are just cars from California that were bound for the scrapyard lmao. Most of these cars have long expired California tags.

    SO MANY PT CRUISERS

    Moved the Tacoma inside and I don't know if it's got a tire with a flat spot / broken belts or if something else is fucked but it's got a rotational lumpiness that shakes the truck even at low speed lol

    No, been here a few times. Last time I was here I went to Mazatlán, Puerto Vallarta, and Cabo San Lucas.
