BGE Table Collapsed! Jacked up and repaired without moving Egg.

I'm not sure how many years its been but my BGE table started leaning and one day the wheels on the heavy side folded under itself. I always kept it protected with the BGE cover. I decided to salvage the table but replace the legs (and wheels). I couldn't lift the BGE out of the table so I jacked up the broken table with automotive jacks. The tiny screws on the table rusted and broke. I found heavy duty Kreg table legs that are powder coated steel on Amazon for about $50. I also bought 4 Kreg swivel wheels with locks. The new wheels are nice in that the swivel and the roll are both locked when brake is applied. The mounting hardware is stainless steel bolts and 3" stainless screws from Lowes. I'm also painting the wood to match the legs as the wood needs the protection as well. Here are a couple photos to illustrate:

Looks liked it worked. Way to go saving your back.

Reptiles. Where I'm from they call that yankee ingenuity. Fantastic. Job well done. Saved the table and kept right on trucking.

Man.  I would have been devastated. You @JohnInCarolina ? @lousubcap ?

First up, welcome aboard.  Great salvage and rescue operation.  And fortunately you did not cross over into the Devastated dark-side although you were approaching the edge of the abyss

Good save. Recently built a table. Only way I was going to get our XL into it was piece by piece

Thanks for the kudos. Perhaps this might help someone else sometime.
I don't want to disparage the BGE wood table, as it lasted about 15 years out in the weather. Nothing lasts forever (except maybe the BGE itself.) Archeologists will be digging up BGEs a thousand years from now, and probably using them. Anyway here is a photo of a partial paint job --back lit from the sun so it isn't the best contrast:

oops... here ya go...

The black Pelican box is just slid under the table for waterproof storage of lump, etc.
