Selling the trailer for $ 1,000.00 means Construction outlook must be bad in Mich.

Merton,

Actually, the construction industry in Michigan has been bad for a couple of years, and 2010 isn't looking better.  The reason they are selling the trailers so cheap is they have already deducted all they can off their books for them, and it's time to replace them with new ones.  The basically just want them out of their storage yard.

Here's a couple of photos of my "new" trailer.  As you can see it's not perfect, but with a few cosmetic improvements it should be good to go.  I'm going to mainly use it for storage in the short-term anyway.
