Been cool out the last couple of mornings and have started doing a little work towards completing the CH Horizontal back to back set up.
Earlier in the summer before the junk lot closed for the summer, we picked up a ten foot post for our set up.
Due to the way the post tappers going up, we had to make a few modifications so the clamps on the electrical box for the lights will hold.
We acquired some 4 inch ID schedule 40 aluminum pipe then cut down to six inch lengths.
Had to grind the collar near the top of the post down a little so our new collars for the clamps could slide over. Once in place, drilled, tapped and bolted each piece securely to the post. Since we do not have any welding equipment here at the house, filled in the gaps with JB Weld steel stick and feathered smooth.
Before painting, will sand blast areas of the base that could not be cleaned with a wire wheel.
We have been leaning towards painting this post Aluminum Silver instead of the Forrest Green like all our other posts. The two CH Horizontal lights are already painted Forrest Green. This post was originally a satin black.
Any thoughts or suggestions on the color paint for the post? Without buying any more paint, we have Forrest Green, Gloss Black, Satin Black, Fire House Red, White, Aluminum Silver, Yellow and Purple.
Cheers!
