💪💪😂

I laughed too. 😂

Spray paint it yellow, problem solved. HA HA

It’s ridiculous that people cant mind there own business and its not against the law either !!!!!

@@mickturner957 I've done that. Or use a antifreeze jug for kerosene

Very cool!

The best wood preservative Is antifreeze

Did u add diesel?

@@markopolo286 nope, straight transmission fluid, turned out fantastic, would do it again

I use straight boiled linseed oil.

Good idea. I was wondering how I could do the underside til you said that. I guess I can use my winch to tip the trailer and do the underside.

You bet

So I was looking to coat my deck where I usually workout at and am wondering if this method would be ok to use? Will this leave a sort of sticky filling on my hands after applied? Or will it pretty much just soak into the wood? I just don't want to be doing push ups and have a oily on my hands or on my back from situps ya know. But thank you in advance and God Bless you all🙏✝️🙌

😂🤘

Mixed with diesel or no?

Curious too and about if it would last as long as the oil/diesel mixture (assuming it would be new not used)?

Every little bit helps right now!

The trailer we did 20 years ago still looks good, too!

Glad it was helpful!

Diesel oil helps the oil to get in the wood better. I always make sure to put on the bottom of post to help with rot and termites

Gotta love the smell of old gas.

Thank you for confirming this does work!

How did you apply to the fence

@@crump48mc I use a sprayer and I reduce it with kerosene.

I know I don't want to have to paint it in with brush..🤣😂

Great idea!

Didn't know that about the termites.

@@The5MFamily If it keeps termites away shiiitt im going to coat everything with that.

Personally I’m just not a fan of 2x6 lumber on my trailer regardless what you do with the lumber to treat it? Unless you’re going to sand down the face of your lumber so it’s smooth, you’re still going to have a rough grain and adding any kind of fluid to the lumber also going to raise the grain too. Maybe if you’re just using your trailer to haul equipment of some kind the rough grain of the lumber may not bother you? But if you ever need to slide a shovel across the surface you’re probably going to rip your lumber and have splinters pulled up off the boards. Myself, I changed to using waterproofing plywood that’s also covered in plastic laminate like you find on many countertops on kitchen cabinets. Plywood way more stable and actually much stronger then any 2x6 lumber or any other size lumber you want to use? You won’t have more need any gaps between boards like you do with lumber. Plywood will only swell or shrink no more than 1/16” and solid lumber can swell or shrink up to a 1/4” on every board you have on your trailer regardless what type of treatment you put on it? 40 years ago roughly, I didn’t have much money at the time. So I put a sheet of 3/4” plywood on the deck of my trailer and put a exterior finish on the plywood. Never did anything else to it for a few decades and eventually the plywood did start to rot and needed replaced. But it far outlasted any 2x6 lumber boards. Later on I started using waterproofing plywood that’s covered in plastic laminate and some 30 years later the deck still looks as good as the first day I installed it! I really love having the smooth surface of the plastic laminate where I can throw in dirt, bark dust, gravel, etc.? Then just slide my shovel across the smooth deck floor scooping up whatever material I need to take out of the trailer! Unless you really slam the point of the shovel into the floor deck, you’re not going to damage the plastic laminate either. Naturally you can abuse anything, but using common sense and taking care when using a shovel the floor will last a lifetime easily! Using lumber each board can and likely will vary in thicknesses, which is another thing I hate about using lumber. Plywood a more consistent thickness and size. I double up 3/4” waterproof plywood with the laminate on it and stagger the joints wherever I need to splice plywood for wider or longer decks bigger then 4x8. So the plywood ends up the same thickness as your 2x4 lumber would be. It just looks so much nicer and really stands out looking more professional than slapping on a bunch of lumber on the trailer floor! I have had numerous compliments on my trailer deck and people wanting to know what and how I put down on the trailer floor? Have yet to see another trailer with plywood on the deck floor though, except for my own of course! I‘ve been using flatbed trailers and utility trailers since I was 16 years old and I’m now heading towards 67 years old. So I got many years of experience with trailers and putting on different types of materials on the trailer deck floors. By far I haven’t found anything yet better than waterproof plywood! Once you use it, you’ll never go back to using lumber!

Works great for posts going into the ground as well. Even federal agencies and utility companies do this to their posts. They “tap” the post and periodically add oil to the core. Works excellent. Thank you for sharing, 5M.

Yup. I pour a small amount around my house foundation once a year.
