I just rented a Uhaul trailer to pickup a Christmas tree and was trying to combine the rental to make a run to Fine Lumber but couldn’t make it happen.
I was thinking it’d be cool if someone had a trailer pool where a bunch of people pitch in a few hundred, buy a trailer, and then split the storages costs and reserve to use it on a calendar.
Would that ever make sense for Asmbly, so members can use a trailer to pickup plywood or rough lumber? Maybe it’s too much to deal with the liabilities, registration, etc. just throwing it out there in case there is a lot of demand for it and it would make sense.
I have a trailer that I would be willing to donate for such use. I am slowly making progress towards moving overseas, so I won’t need it after I leave.
I love the community sharing resources like this! It isn’t something we could house at Asmbly (maybe down the line someday when we are at a location we own). Our landlord is pretty strict about what they are OK with existing outside the space overnight.
