Thank you! It seemed like it should be fairly simple but it's one of those things that when you've never done it before could be either really easy or super complicated.

I'll call around to some welding/metal shops in Portland and see if anyone is up for it. Would it be easier to cut all 4 to the same length and create 4 pieces the same size or just fix the bottom of each one?

It was a circus getting it down. It was down in the LA area and I got a call late on a Thursday night it had to be removed by end of day Friday or it was going to be scrapped. Luckily 3 friends local to it were willing to spend about 15 hours taking it down and completely disassembling it.

Complete it weighs around 3000 pounds. Hopefully the neighbors enjoy it.
