All of mine will be outside around a courtyard and will run from brick post to brick post so as long as its all matching I can buy used and cut to size...... I hope to have my plans Monday and will post them.

No Paul is talking about a supply house that 99% of the decorative iron guys use out of new Orleans . You can go buy all the pcs and weld it up yourself .

Pouring the slab this morning , hoping to keep it under 130 yards but with all this rain we had to keep cleaning out footings which grew them by 6-8" in depth

thank god we poured tuesday , and i poured another one today because the skys just opened up for the past 3.5 hours in baton rouge , my footings would have been full of water. i love pouring a slab and having it rain is butt off that night espc. when its 100* outside . rain on a fresh pour slab is perfect combo for a crack free / strong slab. now putting a "dressing" on the lots with all this mud now that a whole diffrent story
