  • In a different style video, Connor takes an old and rusted out 7x12 utility trailer and fully restores it to a road worthy trailer ready to haul rental equipment, mounds of wood chips, or any fun toys we may pick up along the way. Please let me know if you enjoyed this style of video, I'd love to add a few extra projects to the channel!

    "And just like that..." you said, but you worked so hard on it and I'm amazed at what you achieved in what seems like a short amount of time. The trailer looks brand new!

    I too enjoyed this video, as well as your others. I'm looking forward to more diy projects around the cabin, camper or whatever you two decide to do. Keep the content coming.

    Well done, I love to see some of the younger guys turning wrenches and welding!!! I remember my dad teaching me how to pack bearings. I never learned how to weld but I love watching it!

    Connor, in watching you do the trailer rebuild, all I can say is ~ great work! I could tell by watching you that you've had a good bit of experience working on trailers, welding, wiring, etc. Nice job and it is ready for another (25) years of use or many road miles! This will be a great tool for you as you work around your new home/cabin. Keep the content coming, really enjoy your video's!

    Enjoyable video, glad the young generation is picking up the skill set of doing it yourself....always use new cotter pins , use the right size for the intended application, rule of thumb is fill 70% of the hole minimum. Seems like you had some farming experience along the way :)

    Good call on the trailer.
    It is one of the most Universal gadgets you can buy.
    One can even transport a pickup camper on one....
    Some plywood walls, and it can become a wood chip transporter.
    I just wanted to also mention building solid relations with neighbors worth them, is very wise.
    When you live out in the country, your social reputation is Paramount. You will find that the way you are treated locally largely depends on this.
    Well done

    My 76 year old is sure enjoying your video on restoring the trailer. You have skills and knowledge for doing this project. My husband has done a lot of this kind of thing since we have lived on properties which required a lot of skills. Your trailer looks great and you made it safer to use.

    You could’ve just put some lipstick on the pig and called it good, but you took the extra time and now have a trailer will reward you for many years to come! Great job there sir!
    As always, stay safe out there…..
