Great day!

Jason rented a workspace over on Rogers St., and we moved in this morning. We ran up to Northern Tool in Snellville to get a chain hoist and some other tools. Northern Tool is geek heaven, man. They've got all sorts of great project stuff.

By the time we got moved, got all our supply metal put in order, and got some lunch, it was almost 2pm. We hit it good, cutting the main tank's support and spending some time talking about the eventual position of the tank. We settled on basically this arrangement:



The tank will be 3 inches back, to sit correctly on the frame, the position of which is correct.

We then put the big tank away, and got to work finishing the trailer. We put the central strip of expanded metal in first; I got my feet wet cutting with a blowtorch. Then I cut two long strips of cross-hatch plate, and while I was cutting Jason was welding things in. We spent the rest of the day finishing the running boards on the trailer; all that's left now of the base is 5 pieces of cross-hatch, 4 of which have yet to be cut. Hopefully we can knock those out tomorrow.
