Anyone else do fence building? I have 14 acres and some animals. Last summer I got myself setup with a gas powered welder(PowerArc 5500) cutting tourch and a small trailer I pull behind my atv. Luckily I have a small tractor/auger also.So I put up about 2500' of pipe fence with 4 sucker rod rows. A 14x20' overhead and two huge 9' gates that someone gave me.I had never welded anything in my life but I had been around some welders as a kid. Anyway I've got the best looking fence around and I've been told many time how well it looks because is doesn't roller coaster and is nice and straight.I took me forever though. I'm thinking now I might start looking around for some work. I'm probably going to loose my job sometime this summer so I may need the work.I was wondering if anyone else does that much. I'll probably have to learn to use cable instead of sucker rod.

Reply:I don't think that links. I get a animation search page.Hey good ole' Wylie. We're practically neighbors.Oh Hang on Neighbor I clicked on your profile and found your website. Uh, okay so I feel like I just struck oil or something. Thats a lot of info!. I sure wish I'd found that a year ago. Oh well like you said if it was easy...I look forward to learning a couple of things.Last edited by TPnTX; 04-13-2005 at 08:33 AM.
