Went home on lunch today and welded in 4 pieces. Definitely getting better at this. I wish my metal fabrication skills were better, but at least no one will see the final work as it's all floors. Welds are starting to look better.

Metal prep, welding
Last night I prepared the remaining metal patches. Formed, sanded, cleaned twice, dried, and then coated with POR-15. I forgot to spray with metal ready, which sucks cause I just blew $100 on an order of it only to forget to use it. However, checking today the POR-15 did seem to stick so I guess it's ok. I only did one side, as the other side will be coated once the pieces are welded in place.
