Rarely do I see a pin on Pinterest that makes me go, "wait, I want that!"

The pin below stopped me mid-scroll! I saved the pin and pondered how I could do a similar design in my small primary walk-in closet. 

Well, one thing led to another and I figured out how I could make it work using primarily what I already had on hand.

We are continuing the series about assembly of a Harbor Freight DIY Utility Trailer. With the framing and wiring completed, it's time to add the plywood decking.

The addition of the plywood decking signaled that the work on the trailer was almost complete. But, there were still a few more things to do and ultimately we decided we needed a couple of tweaks to some of the previous work.

Along the way, we discovered and purchased a couple of really useful tools!

I have to be honest, I wasn't looking forward to this particular project. Yes, the planter needed to be removed, but it was going to be a lot of hot, hard work. 

We managed with a little help and learned a few things along the way. 

​Read on and add your tips for concrete removal in the comments below.

When Steph was assembling the Harbor Freight Haul-Master utility trailer she was doing great UNTIL, the lighting would not work! Even with all the troubleshooting she tried, still, NOTHING.

She almost called it quits, but decided to confer with her friend, Stephen, who has the same trailer, to see if he could offer some advice.

Well....you'll see what happens.

Take a look at how Steph wired this trailer. She's never done anything like this before, but reading and watching YouTube videos on the process gave her the confidence to try.

I must say, I was very IMPRESSED with all the tools, techniques, and supplies she used. Even if wiring a trailer is NOT in your future, these techniques and supplies can be used in other wiring projects.

I would say, that you should just watch the video as my written "tutorial" is not going to be nearly as comprehensive and detailed as what Steph has put into the video. I'll try my best, though!

Steph's been using the Ryobi cordless battery powered lawn mower for about a year, so we thought it was time to do a review.
