Trailer Repair

Although a new truck and trailer would be the stuff of dreams, I believe I am stuck with what I have for at least the next two years.  This being so I am going to start working on repairing the buts and pieces of my trailer my self.

This is going to be a complete and on going list of the repairs and upgrades that are needed as they happen in real time.  If anyone out there is reading this I would LOVE any advice, tips, or improvement ideas.  I have created two lists describing the necessity of each thing and rough time line where jobs are put into phases.  My goal is to do a phase per month and have the whole thing done before November when time and weather will make it harder to complete.

Need:

- New tires

- Repair damaged fiberglass

- Repaint Exterior

- Fix Lock on 2nd window

Want:

- Repaint Interior

- Gut Dressing Room

- Repaint Dressing Room

- New Ramp Locks

Luxury:

- Move Rear Tack Pieces into Dressing Room.

- Stud wall divider
- Walk Through Tack Door

Phase One:

1) Strip all internal pieces out of trailer - dividers, tack, ect.

2) Power Wash interior and exterior

3) Repair all damaged fiber glass

4) Repaint

Phase Two:

1) Fix Window

2) Repaint Metal Interior Pieces

3) Replace Door Hardware

Phase Three:

I will post images and up date this as I go.

On the horse front - shoes are back on and he is SOUND!!  I had a GREAT ride and lunged him 2x and he has been a super star!

Arg!

So this has been the crappy week full of crappy things.

Crappy thing number 1:  I went to jump last Thursday and had terrible pain in the knee I had surgery on.  The only change in the last 2 weeks was the number of times I made it to the pool.  It seems for the time being that my knee requires 3 days of swimming to be comfortable jumping.  My current work schedule makes that impossible.  I can just fit in 30 mins on the bike 2-3x per week.  The 7 fences I did jump were perfect.  Well, the pony was perfect.  No weaving, no stopping, no bucking.  Dutch was a star!

I just want this again.

Crappy thing number 2:  Due to a number of issues (money and reset time) we had to pull his shoes again.  Day 1 - not bad, sore on gravel but fine on sand and grass.  Day 3 - only walk sound on grass, boots are helping but not enough and I feel like a terrible person.

Or this....

I do not know where to go from here, feeling kinda hopeless.
