Getter-Done: Yes, I do have a super mom! There's not many moms out there that would sit out in the sun all afternoon to help loosen some rusty bolts


Today's update:

This morning I helped my dad paint part of the back deck. After lunch, I started working on the bedsides some more. I pulled the angle iron off the front flanges to really get a good look at what all needs to be replaced. I have some 14 gauge steel plate, so I tried to make my own flange, but that didn't work at all. Hopefully I can find some place local that could make a patch for me for both sides.

I also pulled the wheel tubs off to check for any rust through. Only found one split in the metal on one bedside. Both tubs are in great shape for being 50+ years old

My newest tool purchase made quick work of the bolts from the tubs to the old plywood. I didn't feel like trying to loosen all of them, so they got the death wheel
