    @-Alex. I so wish I could right now but have no vacation time.
    @-Johnnie. The stem that holds the tire to the gate snapped where the welds were.
    @-Michael. You saying you can fix for me? Its killing me the way it is right now

    Yeah I had it checked and his welds weren't good. And should have been braced better. Tubing seemed a little thin like .95wall and not .120wall
