this winter I counted on snow paying for my supplies (read .. I do snow removal) sadly we have been out only twice so far (read praying for march snow hell) .... it is more of a wish list than a supply list so far ... and speaking of lists .. have you kept a running cost of materials ?... again because I am clueless on such things but curious about ballpark on steel .... my trailer in my mind is EXTREMELY close to yours and the hdpe ,axle rims tires and actuators I can estimate ..... very much like your approach also of building a rolling box and adding things in stages .... I think you are ways ahead of most builds in that it will get what it needs as time progresses and be used along the way .. to me that seems so smart ... also curious as to your total length and a measurement as to where the axle falls in that length ....

I have it written down at home as far as price goes, but steel, axles, wheels/tires, hdpe, lights, misc wireing, I am, hovering right around $1100 or so if I remember right. Being able to use it as it got built up was a large selling point to my wife to let me build it lol. I realize you're in Ft Collins so going to K&K may be counterproductive in saving money, but the big advantage I have with them is they are in unincorporated Adams County, which means very low tax rate, and its a mom and pop shop so their steel prices are very affordable.
