the new LITTLE RED WAGON ~ {DIY multi~purpose trailer}


The past several weeks Mr. Wonderful has been working on a "Honey Do" project for me. I asked him if he could make a little multi purpose trailer that could be hitched to the back of either my Dads golf cart {aka: "Dynamite"}  or his tractor { aka: "Sue"}.
He said "piece of cake"!
Before he could start though he needed some measurements and photos. I gladly volunteered to go and do that for him as that was the least I could do to contribute to the project. The first thing to measure was the yard debris can. The hope is the can will fit on the trailer to take it up to the road. Much easier than manually rolling it, especially when it is extra heavy. 
Once we had Dynamite out of the shed and took a closer look it did not seem as likely to be a candidate for the trailer, however, we measured and took pictures anyway. 
Next we headed to the "barn" where Sue is parked. Again we pulled it out to have more room to measure and take pictures. The tractor already has a hitch which would make things that much easier. 
After that the information was delivered Mr. Wonderful and he got started. He is a man with a plan and does not waste any time. 
The frame did not take long to weld up. 
Next he gave the frame a coat of paint.
As well as the wheels. 
He just happened to have a box full of small wheels that he had saved from some go~carts he made years ago for the Jr. High Youth Group Soap Box Derby. 
They were perfect for this project.
Once the sides were cut and attached it just needed a little more paint.
When it was just about finished I went out to take a look and received the full show room demonstration which you can see below. 



Another Honey Do checked of the list.

Happy Saturday!
