Re: Started on the Tubs

I took a few pictures of last night's progress. Here is one of the tubs I picked up that had been widened with both sides of a tub overlapped with a piece of metal, tacked together then silicone spread over the two tacked seams Name:  widened_tub_before_cutting_apart.jpg

I just marked a semi sraight line usin a piece of thin cardboard & let it overlap then after gettin it where I wanted it I drilled a hole in each end of my bed where the tub is gonna bolt, bolted it down, put 3 bolts back in to the bedside to hold the tub still & made a thru cut with my zizz wheel then used the jig saw to make the cut. I got it tacked together enough to remove it from the truck & plan on finishin the tacks on it tomorrow & hopefully gettin the other tub cut apart & at least cut & tacked if not finished. I had doctors appointments today then my chickens so I decided to just stay in tonight after gettin them done. More pictures to come.
