As promised, here are some photos of the projects...
I got a lot done today.
First, I welded a rod onto the practice piece from my first class. Then I made a tomato-cage style support for my upright clematis that always ends up laying on the ground. It will look better next year when it grows into the support (as opposed to being stuffed in)...I may also shorten it a little, or pound it further into the ground. Next, I repaired the ship's ladder, I installed it when I got home. I also welded two hoops together. I need to add rebar legs to push into the ground...one of the Rings will be about a foot higher than the other when it's installed. Finally, I got all of the rebar cut for a ladder-style trellis for the front of the house...about to get to work welding that...
