Creating the floor

Now onto the floor of the trailer. I wanted something sturdy that I could build on top of. I also wanted it insulated to keep my butt from freezing in cold weather, so we constructed the floor out of 1/2" exterior grade plywood sandwiching 2x2's and 1.5" styrofoam insulation.



Here's my dad fastening the top layer of plywood


When the floor was finished being constructed, I wanted to make sure the underside that was going to be exposed to the road was weather-proofed. I caulked all the joints between the plywood pieces, and sprayed on some ruberized undercoating. Well, that stuff is CRAP. If you're thinking about using it, don't! It's actually cheaper and works a lot better if you buy a gallon of Henry's asphalt emulsion. that stuff smears on thick, covers everthing, and dries with a fraction of the fumes that that spray stuff had. So that's what I ended up doing. I just smeared that stuff on top of the four cans of spray that I allready used.
