Reply:Pretty neat. I see you put a breather hole in your pipe uprights.  That's a good idea. What's your favorite to paint over the welds?
Reply:Thats a really nice job, especially on the stairs!, its kinda cool to see for comparison. I work at a hydraulic dam (power plant) up on the nelson river in manitoba, just for comparison our spillway gates   (9) of them weigh 100Tons each and are 80' in height.
