We built a frame to hold the trailer up so the trailer metal frame bed could be detached and lowered and pulled from under the trailer top. Once that was completed, I begin to replace damaged studs and wood around bottom of trailer. When frame was sandblasted and painted a new floor was put down. I wanted good treated wood for it to fasten into.
Due to a snowfall and the shop not being heated except for space hearters, work on the Shasta stopped until spring, when I was able to get back into the shop and work again on replacing the bad wood.
This wood was replaced at the rear of the trailer surrounding the compartment door and, reworked both sides.
This is in the front of the trailer. You can see I replaced the vertical stud, also wood along bottom side with treated pine, and replaced wood along front of the trailer. The vertical stud was fastened and held in place with a 90 degree angle with screws.
