That would be fun, cept they are both big, one car trailer and the other is a F off big box trailer. Might be just poss to get the box one on top of tother.You store the little 1 on the big 1 job jobbed

Would involve a lot of winching!!
But I like your creative sideways thinking.
Afternoon folks.
Just back from filling of belly with grub. the girls went and picked up a couple of woodburners today so I was left to weld up the steps for the pool.
When I laid the concrete pad with the sockets they must have moved a few degrees and consequently the bottom did not rest against the pool wall.
So take a few measurements, some masking tape and mark an even slice and cut out, at a point above the socket but below the decking so it wont show.
Note to self, Dont weld in crocs and no socks. Anyway job done and steps in will be more carful for setting the next set in place.
Been a cracking day and the pool is going to get a white body splashing in it tomorrow now I can get out. Its up to 26.

This intrigues me sufficiently to measure them. But when we get back from France it'll be full steam ahead to flog the box one anyway.2 cars 3 trailers from Germany work it out, We did

As a young stud it was Stan's love-life that was "Steamy" (allegedly)
Nowaday's its just damp and leaky, its an age thing apparently (spirit is willing but the flesh is weak).

Quite simply the chauffeur has to spend longer in the a.m. with his pile of wood and lit, oily rag, in order to get steam "up"As a young stud it was Stan's love-life that was "Steamy" (allegedly)

.I believe in the last, run of the mill steam cars they had got "steam up" down to 30 secs with "flash boilers".
But what about this beaut from the 1960s?

My great gramp's one must have been a bit like that, though living in Hull it probably had a hard top!!
Like the one in the Haynes museum.
