Huh well I guess I will need to coming down that way.. Of course if we are friends?Wow...speaking of garage stereos, I have a big ole honking Magnavox Astro-Sonic console stereo that I keep out in the garage. I love my LP's, radio and any auxilliary attachments that I add. I just sit out there beside it with my favorite beverage and watch the kids play in the street (culdesac, little traffic), and sit out there til way after dark when it's quiet and peaceful and give thanks for another beautiful day. There are about a half dozen more consoles and drum-table stereo units out there that need some work since older/vintage Electonics is one of my hobbies, and I usually fix em up and give them away to friends and coworkers. Not to highjack this thread, but I need to work on a couple of units and give them away to anyone interested in older electronics. Here's just a sample of my collection, GE Stereo console with AM/FM/Phono/Reel-to-Reel...I just have too many. On a chicken note, I am finding some neat kennels to keep my future chickens, and and Ace Hardware is carrying a variety of hardware cloth. I plan on moving that big Steelcase desk out of my office, move it to the garage and build a nice wooden brooder to sit on top of it, approximate 30" by 5 feet. Wood-framed with hardware cloth all around, and some clear plexi-glass up a few inches from the bottom to keep stuff from being kicked out and any direct drafts on them, plus the babies can see it eye level. Maybe have a removable dividing wall to scoot them over to one half while I clean the other. Someone stated that they are less intimidated if you approach them at a lower level, because they look upward for predators. Add a bar stool and I can sit and interact with them better at that height, plus those desk drawers can be used for storage of any necessary medical/emergency items. I usually plan months, months, months ahead before making a final commitment to any endeavor. Being an office worker and so paper-oriented, I think the planning is more fun before the actual building. That's just me. Either way, these gals will be spoiled rotten, and can't wait for some fresh eggs and companionship. My ideal number would be about six hens. --BobbyBOf course, the top will be covered with chain-link or hardware cloth. To keep out those furry predators and pesky wild birds.
It is so funny how the day goes.. I gave one of my dearest friends a Plymouth barred rock, so I went by to see how she was doing, plus looks at her new couch.. Along with her vintage AM/FM radio with turn table.. Ugh, it is so beautiful.. She was just saying how they might need a new neddle & some other repairs.. We love, love , love going to MacAlpines.. It's a old pharmacy from for -ever-ago.. Original bar with the 40'-50's Music.. Along with phosphates.. Yum... They always have some of the best vintage furniture. I dare not get any.. That would never be the end.. You can put me on your list if you can't find a home for record player.... I can't believe you know one of my favorite sentences.
