    Was always waiting to see how you got those two chasis levelled up and joined together. Love the ingenuity you brought to the job.👏🙂

    Ahh timber finish sizes, yep as you discovered whenever you get a fresh delivery you gota check it’s dimensions, unless it went through the planer at the same time they differ a lot!

    Tim, you had big balls to leave that lovely house & the magnificent workshop! But, there are always greater challenges around the corner as you have so clearly demonstrated! More power to your elbow sir!!

    Well done team, nice to see a bit of lateral thinking. Farm jack is a brilliant bit of kit, one of my favourite tools. Someone really used their brains designing it.

    This is good experience for when you move the trailers and have to join them up again. I'm sure it will be much harder in a field.

    Couple sheets of hardboard shiny side up under the wheels and washing up liquid then pushing side ways becomes a lot easier.
    Great progress well done.

    That looked like a lot of hard work but I loved the water level. Its such a handy thing with no power being used or needed. To fill your tube and keep air out the simple route is to have a deep bucket filled with water then its as easy as coiling the tube from one end into the bucket. By the time you get to the other end you have a tube full of water, no sucking or pouring no fuss. Shame about the wood being a different size could you have used shims on the floor side of the walls after all it seemed to be about 1/4 inch which can be "disguised" when you install the drywall/siding, I know... you would know that it was not done right and that would bug you till the day that it was corrected. Thanks for posting

    Cheapest skids you can get to put under the wheels are the trays from McDonalds. I've used them many a time to slide stuff easily.

    Instead recutting the studs, I'd be looking for a new fat top plate. Or make some packers/wedges.

    Will that steel frame take the weight , which by now is heavy , and that’s without the walls , roof and everything else ?

      We will do an update on weight once we get roof on this week. Chassis are rated at something like 10 tonnes each side.

    I'm surprised you didnt use the Hi-Lift jact to pull the two parts together for the final few inches. Simply turn the top jaw through 90 degrees and you have a high powered clamp with a squeezing action.

    • @TheRestorationCouple

      The main issue was that it was still touching tyres to the floor. We did try the jack off the concrete walls which worked a bit but couldn’t face the comments on showing that one! 😂
