Two levels of fire pits on the trailer or 3? You gonna be able to load your yellow lifter contraption on the trailer to unload a pit onsite and put it in a customers truck? Can the yellow beast reach the top level? < font = curious > I suppose that trailer is fairly dedicated to fire pits. However it should hold six kayaks and plenty supplies. Me and 4 buddies do kayak fishing trips twice/year. Their trailer is a pain, too small. I was careful to design it with out internal walls so kayaks could be loaded into it. Or long sticks of steel. Always collecting steel. Pretty sure the yellow beast can lift that high. Have not measured yet. It goes way up. Like for warehouse shelves. Yes, the trailer is designed for fork lift and the yellow beast, via side loading. I saw a yellow beast with hydraulic drive. That may be the next toy. I could overhaul it, done hydraulics before. That way the wife can do it all. Always design for the wife. I have given her all the small fire pit business. Those that can ship UPS. I gave her 80 30" bowls and 40 24" bowls. And parts to make them. She can use my part time welder to weld them. So she is AtlantafirepitsJR. Will see how that goes. China is putting her light business out of business. She is eating crow because I kicked her butt on Etsy. She is competitive. I am a conquerer. Taming her slowly. Using the same method of training that Sigfrid and Roy used huh? Hope youre taking remote videos or it didn't happen...grin. |

And I sell stuff to folks that need or want the product. An Eskimo neither needs nor wants ice. It's a sort of insult actually. It was not intended as an insult, sorry if you took it as such. I guess you didn't get it, it was actually a compliment. When someone says, "He could sell ice to Eskimos" or "sand to Arabs," it is a positive reference to a salesperson's selling abilities. A truly great salesman can sell items to people that they do not even need. |

A truly great salesman can sell items to people that they do not even need. Actually, to a true salesman it calls to his ethics. I do not use my abilities to sell or act unethically. Those things seem cute, but they came from my industry as insults to colleagues. When normal folks use them, it is never meant to hurt. I'm not hurt. I see the compliment as intended. |

Meant as 100% compliment Scott. Zero malice.
Sincere apologies please.
@shotgunner.
(We were discussing selling at illegal locations and figured the morals had taken a step in an amusing but affectionately downward direction)

Banner poles - 1 inch water pipe sockets on all 4 corners. Stick a 6 foot water pipe in hole and tie banner to it. To hold a 16' X 3' banner w/logo and web site for street sales in the city. WE DELIVER !! Sounds like fun.   |

Q: WHAT ARE THE SOURCES OF HYDROGEN SULFIDE? A: Hydrogen sulfide gas can come from a number of different sources. It can occur naturally in groundwater. Certain “sulfur bacteria” in the groundwater, in the well water itself, or in the plumbing system can create this gas that smells bad. Chemical reactions inside water heaters can also produce sulfur bacteria. In rare cases, pollution can cause the gas to form. Effects on health Sulfur bacteria are not harmful. In most cases the rotten egg smell does not relate to how clean the water is in a well. From the true Adventures of the Geode Kid: |

captbob. Reason for not using still decking instead of wood decking is ease of load and unload. It is slick. Loading fire pits upside down without pallet, the steel digs into the wood. These were 10 gauge discs cut from center when making lipped bonnets for fire pits. hole cut for pits with bonnets:  steel rounds for decking on trailer. @shotgunner, many welds(10 pounds 1/8" rods) to attach decking with trailer upside down. Rounds allow strapping down on using square tubing at perimeter of rounds.

Gave wife all the 24 inch and 30 inch fire pit business. It ships UPS. She sold her first pit. I helped the UPS guy put it in his truck. It came back to the farm the next day. It was supposed to go to California. Look at where she shipped it too:   LOL. Gave her hell. When one of us makes a real stupid mistake we yell "STUPID SH*T" in a most humiliating way. |

Might mount a jungle seat on the side of the trailer. Or a nice Barcalounger on top of trailer.  |

How will it take years of weight, potholes and abuse by employees?

Cant be too hard on a lady that tolerates the mad scientist, jungle man, and puter sales whiz all right there in one ornery package. I get busy like that and bone up. How did the recipients like their new pit? hheheehhehe |
