    I need a bigger trailor.

    Got some desks and filing cabinets from my units Armory yesterday. Had to leave a little bit behind. But got what I could. Also added some more from what I had at home. Mainly computer cases and smaller stuff. It all adds up though! Got my lil trailor packed tight. I love it! I wanna do it everyday. Lol

    They didn't have an old Howitzer sittin' around you could have to scrap. The military sure does have some heavy stuff. Those desk will put muscles in your arms if your not careful.

    They do have some Paladins there. Hands off though. But real talk I could scrap quite a bit of stuff from there. Old stuff thats been sitting there as long as Ive been going there, which is 8 years now. But Im glad I got what I got amongst other items that will never hit the scrap pile.

    I had the same 4 x 8 trailor, sold it and purchase a 5 x 10 and build it up around 4 feet high. I could have fit all that you have now and then some. If you want success you have make room for it. Invest a little

    I understand that. Just gotta get to that point. Its not to far in the future. Just got some stuff goin on. Ill be there one day.

    Also just dropped off the load. It was a lil more then I thought. 1160 at .095 a pound. My other 2 yards were paying a lil more. But this one was closer. And ofcourse work wants me to come in early. So off to my "real" job.

    When that little trailer is stacked higher then your van you might need a bigger one. Looks life you just need to build higher sides.
