[AT] Weekend issues

[John Hall]

All of our hay wagons are/were floored with oak. I have no idea how long 
the floors last, the 2 here now are over 30 years old. We don't use them 
like we did way back when, but they saw plenty of loading and twisting. 
No preservative, just kept them under a shed when not in use.
