A Full Day Of Welding

I was busy making a protective grate for the sub-meters and fuse box at the apartments. You need to make sure no one can take stuff apart and steal it. Yeah, it's not great welding.

Real hairy eyeball stuff. I guess everyone expects an American (foreigner) to hire someone to do this work, not do it themselves.
