The gate looks great and makes me envious. It's quite a work of art.
Is that a sliding gate or a swinging gate?
Do you have any concerns about it keeping its form without bending? That is ... the upright ends staying upright without losing the 90 degree angle between it and the bottom. Are there gussets at the bottom I missed?
Thanks,

Don, I didn't mention it before, but maybe behind the cactus in that open area you could add a few strands of rusty barbed wire. You need barbed wire and a post for a crow to sit on, and you don't want a cow trying to stick their head thru there. Although, I guess you don't have to worry about that since the gate is in the middle of the cattleguard.;)

There have been some changes. We've decided to stay over one more day. Glenda's class isn't until tomorrow night and it's only a five hour drive from Don's house Texas to Harvey's house Texas, nothing but a morning thing.

Last night we were talking about how it was almost unfair that there were two wheels from Don's granddads in the gate and nothing from Karen's grandparents.

Don mentioned one her granddads had left them a box of tools. I asked if there by any chance a hoof file farriers use in those tools. There was.

So this morning, well, pictures talk better than we can.

I know this had nothing to do with his curiosity about my welding.

Don and Harv that gate is amazing. Who would have thought that tractor guys have so much creative talent. Beautiful work!

Don if you ever need some lunch money I'll bet you could sell those cool critters. Put then on a stake and people would put them in their gardens. Maybe make critter wind chimes. How about critter gates for the walk into the garden. I bet there are people who would like to give them as gifts. TXDON Inc.:D

We had the coach whip in the cattle guard. But it was Raspy the gate serpent that got Don twice this afternoon. Not once. Twice, Don yelled about that snake almost getting him as we working at the gate operator.

It's all up and working like it's supposed to work. Life is good.
