Guidry Welding on Ridge Rd. in the Judice/Duson area.... 984-2522. Talk to Todd or Micheal. If you closer to downtown Lafayette either Percy Guidry on Wilson St or Guidry Iron Works next door to them...... and yes, I am a Guidry! haha

I hunted with Percy a good while back. He had a bad limp. Said he wasn't going to be hunting much longer. That was about 20 years ago. Is he still around?

yes, it's the same stuff most leaning posts are made of, it's amazing how light and strong the stuff is. i made a cleaning table out of it and the kids use it as a diving board, sometimes there's 3 of em' on it at the same time. i'm talking about teenage kids.
