Guys, I just can't say thank you enough. As I said, I'm fine with a stick, but my wife told me some things just need to be square.

I've been cleaning and cutting tubing today, and snrub please re-remind me to wait for painted steel next time. Keith, thanks but I'll blow myself up at some point. It's inevitable.

peachgrower, thanks for the tips. I bought the Miller 215, because it's very portable, and can do mig, tig, and stick. I doubt I'll ever need the 120, but that is an option too. There are always small stick welds that are remote, so this rig and my generator will at least keep me from having to borrow my neighbor's Bobcat.
