I was asked to weld a gate because the owner and his brother failed to do it. Heard nothing for a few days and then I saw Antonio and asked about it. They had succeeded apparently:
So then I went to inspect the welds to see what the difficulty had been. They look like this:
And this:
And the reason for the difficulty is that they were trying to weld with this:
on the end of a series of dodgy extension cables about 200m from the house! (Dunno if you zoomed in on the electrode holder).
So that's the standard I have to meet or exceed if I offer to cart a genny and my little inverter there to tidy it up a bit. A little prep might have helped but I think running a buzzbox on 200m of extension might have added to their problems.
