i made to decision to keep it with him. he is finishing it up and only charging 300 extra.

im happy with his previous work but the main reason is the time span i want it done by and im kinda in a remote location haha

thanks for all your advice

sounds like he does not have the experiance and has underquoted a bit. let this be a lesson to all ,sometimes the cheapest has a reason for being cheap. i normally use 1.6 sheet to fill the hole welded slowly then lightly tapped up, you can just about file finish it from there.i have used this method dozens of times and it works a treat on infilling big panels.should have some pics in the puta somewhere, ill post some when i find them

Panelman,

I think everybody would appreciate your input. Maybe a thread on what to do/ not to do in this circumstance. If not for the home welder, at least when we approch someone some knowledge on how they say they will tackle it we can have some understanding.

thanks,

Mauser

Trying to say this in a nice way. $800 is way way too cheap. Sometimes a cheaper price is just that.

No worries guys, ill fish out some pics and post em. Some may be of the other brands but the repairs are relevant to what you guys will be doing...
cheers
