25.01.2022 The floor has gone in today looks a treat.

24.01.2022 Got one from Charters Towers to refurbish over the coming weeks new paint (white), lower it down from landcruiser to 14" wheels, put a new floor in running gear overhaul (new spring bushes), new floor new, new rubber floor, Perspex window, repair guards & there is no rear ramp so one of those too also going to try to change to 2 angle load from 3 straight load. I'll post it's progress.

24.01.2022 I have been very busy since my last post trailers & racks for people with disabilities, box trailer refurbishment racks for canoes big boat trailers plus rubber floors in floats. I have a camper to do a disability scooter trailer a horsefloat refurbishment plus a enclosed trailer. All to do before Xmas . Pull finger out. Have float roofs coming a new roll of floor rubber. Next year I'm going to build two floats two different sizes & I'm going to market my own brand of float the GF basic & GF delux. I will be offering finance through my banking partners. Not sure on price but we will see when we get each built & costa are calculated. Please share.

23.01.2022 Now the dividers are done too.

23.01.2022 I said I wasn't going to posts any more photos until it's finished but this is starting to look very blingy. Has a really good look about it. Going to make people stand up & look.

23.01.2022 Rubber floor down decals on looking very good. Window in tomorrow then lights. Nearly there for those following.

23.01.2022 Aluminium & a few other things have been done today but this float is very solid pm me for contact but I believe this is up for sale.

20.01.2022 Well off come the roof in an epic battle of force brutality towards the remover not the roof. Missing skin on knuckles & finger tips. Hahaha roof cleaned come up a treat or as good as an old roof can get.

19.01.2022 We have about one full float of rubber left or 4 ramps. $125 per lineal metrer laid. Roll is 126cm wide. Average ramp 165cm x 120cm costs approx $250 laid. Good stuff 12mm thick. Great for ute trays too non slip.

17.01.2022 This is just part of the chest bar a divider next photo will show the finished divider but you can get the drift has a storage area in the center of the divider. Fortunately this float was wide as it's a three Pony float so it's now a very large 2 horse straight load.

17.01.2022 This float is for sale Tom is the guy that owns it but we fix them not sell them so pm me I'll give you his number. It's very solid that's all I can say new brake controller, new front floor, new front top shelf in forward compartment, new front Aluminium front & side doors. Has not long ago been painted not sure how long ago, roof is good. Someone has put a new main floor in recently not sure when. As an all round float looks good very tidy. A fair bit of work has been done by someone else & a fair bit by Lachlan at GF.

16.01.2022 The decal stickers are on

15.01.2022 New equine rubber is here "Aussie gold" designed specifically for floats, stables & veterinary clinics. If anyone needs a new rubber floor get in now while stock lasts. I recon we got maybe enough for 1 more float. Rest has been presold. $125 per lineal meter laid roll is 1260mm wide & is 12mm thick.

12.01.2022 From the front looking back.

12.01.2022 Back on the big float from today until the end of the week it should be painted Saturday then put it back together & add the bling. Should be good watching this transform.

09.01.2022 Well looking very good now. Aluminium around roof lights & wiring bearings spring bushes if needed front window & some brand new thoroughbred stud horses. None of those brumbies. Hahaha.

07.01.2022 Second sheet going down. Floor is now 34mm thick form ply sandwich. No horse no matter how big going through this.

06.01.2022 It has now turned grey tomorrow it will be white.

05.01.2022 And it turned white for those following this is going to be one nice job. Mr perfectionist is happy anyway. I'm sure the owners will too.

04.01.2022 Outside sunny itself while roof repairs are made. Then it will be back in for all the bling to go back on.

03.01.2022 The new ramp frame is all but done new door sheeting renewed. Lowered with those new 14" sun raisers. All the flooring is purchased ready to go.

01.01.2022 I came in this morning & the elves overnight have nearly got this back to bare metal all the way around. Door sheet is in the bin big dents & bog where it had been dented & bodgied up beffore. Must have been late when they finished he only decided to start on it at 2pm when he got back from his other job.
