Back side of the island at Buffalo city.  The sun was in our eyes.

I know what you mean.   Sometimes you just can’t make out anything.  I hope it works out for you.

Ouch....

Got the hole welded.  Not perfect but tremendously better than before.

I'm thinking about welding a piece of 1/8" thick by 2" wide flat stock from there to the first rib to stiffen the bottom.   Thoughts?
