Here is a little project I'm working on.I picked up an old service station signpost from an old American Gas station that we ran when I was a teenager. My dad farmed, built houses, was a loom fixer in a local cotton mill, and he opened a gas station, and this signpost came from it. I took it down, wire brushed it, And primed and painted it. Vickie wanted it to go at the tractor shed/store building.
#1 is the post laying on the ground, notice my rigging?
#2 is the golf cart hooked to the trailer to haul off the excess dirt, my son has my dump trailer
#3 I'm ready to dig the footing
#4 is the boom pole on the FEL to get the post high enough as it's 20' tall and the arm sticks out 12'
#5 is a fuzzy pic of the hole which is 3'x3'x 2' deep
#6 is the anchor bolts. I used some scrap steel out of my scrap bucket to form an H then welded the anchor bolts to it. The anchor bolts are 3/4" X 24" threaded rod.
I poured the concrete and sat the anchors , now I need to wait for it to cure.
Anyone have an old American gas sign they want to donate to the cause? Later, Nat
