Default make work project #418

this one is a double whammy. when things are slow it's time to make sure things are happy at home. the honey do list included some new gates.



hinges, final welding, and paint then they can be hung

Beautiful. How do keep something as nice as that from being stolen?

People are even stealing the gates from cemetary entrances these days.

seriously!? who steals gates?
i was going to use the old ready rod hinges if someone is going to steal it there's nothing stopping them

but the stupid thing is 15' long and heavy if they can steal it without me or the dogs noticing i guess they can have it

Needs an elk or something cut out to dress it up.
