All went well with the lift. Thanks to Unka Jack who I met through this forum and has done a lift before. His expertise was invaluable!

Here's a link to a short video.

Nice to see all is going OK.
Maybe you could post all the photos in the squarestream thread.since folks are always wanting to know what the structure looks like inside.It would be easy to find there
I am still parked under the pepper tree in California working on the C-130s.
Wife will be in YYZ next month.

I was missing a few outriggers in my order(my fault). I'll see if I can get them fabricated, it will probably be quicker than ordering them. The chassis is almost ready for paint though.

Looking for a right side corner banana wrap for the 89 Squarestream. One from an 86 0r 87 Argosy would work too.

Wife back from YYZ said it was raining to much.Was glad to back to the 114 temp in PHX.

Nice to see you can still get down to weld,I can get down slow but getting up is real work.
I like the photo's keep up the good work ,you are giving lots of good info for anyone that want to know what they look like inside and how there where made. Have fun. While you work I will just stand around.

I did inquire about that wrecked Squarestream some time ago. The front left seems to be missing or wrecked. I'm going to make a mold and make one out of fibreglass if I can't find one.

Yes it's been a crappy spring here for sure. Lots of rain and flooding and colder than normal. No way I could handle 114, 75-80 is my limit!

Chassis is back all repaired sandblasted and painted, read for reassembly! Total cost so far for parts, some fabrication, and labour, $2,830 CDN. This will be the most expensive part of the reno, although subfloor and interior wall will come close.

Now THAT has to be a thing of satisfaction from hereon!

Most of us with 25-yr and older trailers don't really want to see what they look like at this stage, ha!

Tanks are going back in, and treating the edges of my floor with penetrating epoxy. This job would go quicker if it wouldn't rain every 2 hours!!

Thanks.
Just like I thought. To me if it was sucking air at the fitting at bottom of tank it should leak water out on the ground. With tank full I see no leaks I can see the rest of the system OK.
Guess I will have to do more looking.
