I was scouting around for some pole material and while driving down a side street I noticed a welding shop that I didn't know was there.
I stopped in and struck up a conversation about the material with the owner,seemed like a nice guy,anyway he asked what I was going to use it for ,I told him and he kinda lit up with recognition of the need. I asked if he had PM's and he said no but his brothers and father all did in Alabama.
We closed the deal on a 24' piece of 2" new square tubing for $2 a foot. I thought that was reasonable.
Anyway if the Arndt family in Alabama is looking in ,Hello,nice to meet you.
I also dropped by Home Depot and got some other items I'm using on next years setup for 33% cheaper than the plumbing supply.Hey ,I'm making money every where I turn.
