Default Top ten gorilla welds I've seen

Was out doing a property inspection today, and saw this. At first, I
thought someone had heaped epoxy around the base, but took a closer look.
Any guesses as to what they used and did? I see lots of wire stubs, but
with burnback at the TOPS. Someone really worked hard at this. There was
an additional bracket added, meaning this glob did not work at all to hold
the post to the base.

Just when you think you've seen everything .............



I had a welding instructor that used to make a comment about piling it
up on there until it "looks like bird ****".

That weld looks like bird **** to me.
