Long term fence project.

Looks great, MF1455v.
Maybe you'll be able to put your Texas on the next gate. When you do, be sure to let us all take a look at it.
Really nice work!

James - that is some fantastic work .... and such a nice gate going into ..... the pasture?.. Not a bit of overkill there huh? Guess a squeeze gate was out of the question. ... I haven't kept up much - you found a place down south? Welcome to the neighborhood.

Hi Mike. I've been working 65+ hrs a week sense it started. I expect that to be the case until mid summer. Haven't worked that much O.T. is a long time. Its great right now with the family still in Princeton. The money won't last forever so I'm going to take advantage of it. It'll finance my next fence. Haven't had time to look for property much. I'm staying in an rv park in Georgetown. As for the fence and gate we did have plans to build on the property. It already has dirt work done with laser leveled pad sites for a house and a shop. Its now up for sale. The place will make a nice home site for someone and not a bad return on investment for us.

Thanks weldingsifun. I enjoy sharing projects here on TBN. Hopefully I can give someone else a idea like all the ideas I get here.

I'm sure OT can be tough but as you said - the timing for it is really good. Good luck on the transition - lotsa stuff to deal with there. Wife will be in Round Rock on Fri -- I'll be up country on Sat -> Mon --33 months and all this commuting to the country will be over and done with.

This may be a dumb question but here goes: How do you notch out the end of a pipe if you are going to weld it to another? The letter "T" for example; how would you "round out" the top of the verticle piece so the horizontal piece would fit snuggly against it? I hope you can understand what I'm trying to ask.

THANKS
