I was thinking of selling mine. Try to make a small profit, and build another and try to sell. Just enough to get me up to buying a van or something.

Yeah I was thinking about it. not too sure yet. Right now I have them in crates. I just don't know how I would go about putting them in as of yet. Any ideas?

Ok I appreciate it. I wasn't sure if I should make the shelves myself or try to find some already made and just install them inside.
 
I would put a few heavy coats of Oil based paint down, that or maybe a large rubber mat that goes all the way to the walls, then put some of that plastic trim around the base and caulk it. Maybe go half way up the walls with that paneling for bathrooms.....Know what I'm talking about? You can pick up a 4x8 sheet from Lowes. Pick up 2 full sheets and a half sheet for the front.
Just a suggestion...
 
I need something else. I went the cheap route to keep costs down. I am finding out that ot works for a bit until you really get going. I can only hold so much. ie. chemicals

Can you explain a little better sounds interesting
 
Good job with the set up.
Might I suggest right away using a sealer and waterproof paint, and on the floor something with a little grit or non-slip surface to it.

If you have a Lowes or Home Depot around, go to the section that has wall paneling. There sould be a few different kinds, The one that I am refering to for bathrooms and such. Places where you need something for a water barrier. There should be a couple of different styles. Some look like tiles, some just textured. They come in 4x8 ft. sheets. 2 will do the walls on the inside. * foot long and 4 foot up your wall. They also sell half sheets, so you can pick one of them up for the front.
You could use "Liquid Nail" to glue them in place.

I would also do something to the floor. You said you are going to waterproof it.
I would, just me though, go out and buy some 12"x12" black and white tiles, the vinyl type, where you peel the back off and stick it, Kinda like a giant sticker. I would do a checkered floor. It would add to the protection of the floor. the tiles are also pretty cheap.

If you did that, you would have a kick a$$ trailer inside, while making it look lighter inside so you can see better.


But that is just me...LOL:D
