I didn't have access to a sand blaster so we used Ospho (sp). Sand litely to get loose rust off, apply Ospho (sp) and paint well. The Ospho (sp) changes the chemical composition of the rust that is left back into metal. No rust yet after 7 years. |

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
