Lake Forest Handyman SMART construction/remodel trailer design and build.
Lake Forest Handyman has experienced tremendous growth in the last 4 years. As our customer base has grown so have our abilities and our general scope of work . This has inspired a great deal of change ultimately requiring greater tooling, accessibility, and transportation.
My intention is to share in greater detail how I put everything together, my challenges, my shortcuts, the materials I acquired, and processes put forward to design, fabricate, and implement this asset into my business.
Our story begins in the middle of 2018. My wife and I were running out of space in our home. My tools had grown to the point where they were friends at the dinner table. I knew that the next phase was going to be to find something to hold all of my tooling in one place while allowing it to be as portable and accessible as possible.
After years of wondering if a sprinter style van, cargo van, or an enclosed trailer would be better for our needs, I had to make a decision.
Careful research, test drives, and inspections lead me to the conclusion that an enclosed trailer would be best suited to our needs. It offered the storage that we needed, the portability that we required, as well as the safety and security best suited for the job sites that we have been working on and anticipated growing into.
I searched through Craigslist and other trailer sites daily but my searches didn't yield a single result that met all of our needs. This meant that I would have to purchase NEW and pushing the purchase out nearly another year.
Fast forward to 2019 and Lake Forest Handyman was stable enough to support purchasing a brand new enclosed trailer. This is that build from purchase to current use. I hope you enjoy and if you have any questions, please don't hesitate to email us [email protected]
