He must be good if he can weld on stucco 
[attachmentid=19093]He bolted 4" round 1/4 " thick metal circles to the house 
Then welded the pipe to them.

That might be kinda tough for the powder coater...

That's a mighty beefy looking patio! Good work!
Tron beat me to it... gonna be tough to powdercoat!
Doesn't look like much of a slope for runoff when it rains....
and I don't see any triangulation either, in case it runs into something.
Just messing around, looks great!

POWDER COAT, heck, Im going to chrome it!
I can hardly wait for some termites to sink their teeth into this thing!
The roof will not be waterproof but there is enough slope for run off should I ever put a waterproof cover on it.
My wife is the one who designed it, I told her about the triangulation but she insisted the engineering was sound.
cool idea, wonder if it passes code?
Where ya gonna mount the bypass shocks?
And will you run single or dual whips with that get-up?
Awesome job....you might just start a new trend there

That is a very cool Idea. What are you going to put up top for shade? Maybe some stailess perf or diamond plate

Sure it passed code, the inspector waved when he drove by the other day.

As of today the cover will be mesh tied on with bungie cords, Tomorrow it may be 2x4's spaced apart. I just dont know yet.
If any of you people weld you can imagine how hard it was to weld in the wind today.
With the help of my wife holding an umbrella to block the wind I did get it done.
That is pretty ballsey welding in the rain. Looks good.

WOW that is effin cool! 
Very nice! The stars are a nice touch and as I said when I saw it I love that paint.
BTW - thanks again for the Bike both of you! Amy and I have been cruising it every night we get a chance and have already had several offers from people who want to buy it from us I did put some new tires and tubes on it but I think it's going to help both of us get back into somewhat better shape this summer!

Dennis and Kimmie, looks awesome!! Great job 
Looks great. Maybe you could pile old buggy parts on the top as decorations.

It is good to hear you are getting some use out of that tandem, it was rusting away here in Carlsbad.
You can find the grips for the rear handle bars on Ebay.

I was thinking of getting a forklift so I can set the buggy up there.

Yep, in fact some friends of ours went out and got a tandem of their own off ebay they were so hyped about ours
I got some temporary grips at WallMart for $5 until I get around to ordering the proper ones off ebay. They're cheap enough but I wanted some NOW and didn't feel like waiting to have them shipped to me
Looks good, my kind of porch, I have welded in the rain, no fun at all 
Wind sucks also blows the gas away from the weld.
LATER DON~~~
