Introduction and Damage Assessment

What happens here

The video introduces Josh, the homeowner, and Ken from Forever Fence & Rail, who is assisting with the repair. Josh explains that he accidentally damaged the custom aluminum gate by hitting it with four 16-foot heavy-duty cattle panels while operating a skid loader. The gate, which is 16 feet wide, did not clear the panels, causing damage. The gate was manufactured by Digger Specialties in Indiana and TIG welded by a female welder named Taylor. The finials (decorative tops) are made of cast zinc, chosen because cast aluminum doesn't hold powder coating as well. Ken confirms that some finials are broken and there's a bent picket.

Goal: Understand the scope of damage and necessary repairs to the gate
