Utility trailer that is 5' X 8' ft The axle is 59 inches from the front of the trailer not the coupler You want to extend the back of the trailer 10 inches Would this be safe to do and pull a load?

On a 5' X 8' Utility Trailer you would want a 60% / 40% axle weight distribution for optimum towing/tracking of trailer. A design of 96 total inches in length would produce a 54" length from the front of the trailer to axle center. Adding an additional 10 inches to the rear of the trailer would then produce a optimum 63" length from the front of the trailer. Extending this trailer by 10 inches would fall into a safe range as long as you take into consideration the weight distribution of the load.


How big is a semi truck?

The correct use of the word Semi is to refer to the trailer, if a trailer has wheels in the front and back it is a 'full' trailer. A trailer pulled by a tractor/truck using a fifth wheel connection on the front and only having wheels in the back is referred to as a 'semi' trailer. The tractor trailer combination weights approx. 34,000 lbs empty, 80,000 lbs loaded. The tractor itself is around 18,000 lbs. Trailers vary from approx. 30-53 feet with the tractor adding around 12 feet for a total of around 65 feet. The standard height is 13' 6" tall.


Are there a pros and cons to installing new shingles over the old layer of shingles?

The biggest drawback to installing new shingles over old ones is that it will most likely void your warranty. Another disadvantage to installing new shingles over old ones is that you deprive yourself of the opportunity to inspect your underlying roof--you may need to replace trusses, plywood sheeting and flashing. Old shingles can also hide mold. This could prove to be a time and money saving endeavour because you could potentially catch a small problem before it becomes a big one. You may be able to add better insulation while you are at it, which will improve your energy costs. *Two more negative points: 1)you are doubling the weight on the trusses or cut roof members. If you live in an area with high snow loads, you may overload the roof. 2) If you are sure that there is only 1 existing layer, you would probably be within the limits of any building code by adding another. However, some codes do not permit 3 layers due to a) the excess weight; and b) the difficulty in chopping through the roof by firefighters.

How do you make loading bearing beam out of 2x12?

Usually it is in a 2x4 wall. Take two 2x12's the right length and put a strip of 1/2 inch thick plywood between them. Nail through from each side at regular points alternating the spacing on each side. This ties everything together. The plywood and the different grains of the 2x12 give it more strength than the parts separately. good answer above. make sure to crown both 2x12's in the same direction and adding construction adhesive to plywood before nailing all together gives it even more strength. Install it with crowned side up naturally!
