Hah, you remember it ? I took it off my signature probably a year ago

I resemble it, so yes I do.

Spent some time with the welder this week (mostly today), got the holes from the old stake pockets covered and welded shut.
Now I am ready to trim a quarter inch off the two sides and square up the ends of the boards, then I can install the ice and water shield and set the steel deck on top of it.
One of my helpers got to make their first welds today and greatly enjoyed it:

Deck waiting to go on the wagon:


Wood deck ready for trimming, the 5/4x6 boards are to be a straightedge, one was bowed, so I had to get another:

Edit:
Also put a hose to the top port in the cylinder so that I have power down. No pictures of that yet though.

Ice and water shield on, you can see the new (skinnier) hydraulic hose for power down in this picture:

Steel deck set on, still needs to be pursuaded down (probably with a sledge) as the ice and water shield made the wood deck a little bigger than anticipated:
