The old deck was some rotted old 2" x 8"s that had been overlaid with pressure treated plywood somewhere along the way. I spent the morning ripping the old pieces off and loading them into my other trailer for a trip to the demolition landfill someday. Then I hauled the trailer to Mike's so we could redeck it. We went to the lumber yard and I was very surprised that 10 12' 2x8's only cost $66.
We used the finest imported lumber.
I think that she looks great. I have some side rails that I made from part of an old pig loading chute. I am going to paint them red. And I have a nice set of chrome baby moon hub caps to add to the wheels. We are going to look very fancy when we head to LeSueur for the Antique Farm Equipment Show and Flea Market next Friday.Mr. Flannery

What an awesome job you two did! Glad I could at least provide lunch before I conked out! Nothing like that imported lumber from the great country of Texas!! Suppose it will help us find as many good treasures as we see on RNC and Primitiques sites???? Hope so!
Texas wood. Can life get better? Looks good! ~Mindy
I predict copious rain for the end of next week - bring a tarp
