oh your in choir! sweet!!  I am trying to get Luke to get into chorus he is always singing here at home.  but of course he is always kicking soccer ball around the yard I guess I need to get on with soccer for him although I dont want to.  The older sons have me wanting to never do soccer again.  traveled so much of my life and lived life for soccer its unreal.  ughhhh

but I needed more kids so I need to step up to the plate for them I guess.  I asked older kids if they would coach for the club  they cant commit with young families.

I am, I've been in that choir for as long as I can remeber.

I imagine. My uncle coaches soccer.

Maybe something similar to the mama heating pad people use in brooders. Are your current her lamps just aimed at the roost board?

Quote: yes, but somewhat like I showed you guys in those seedling starter table not just wrapping and covering no, Im wondering if I cant use dryer flat venting and put them inside of it with two pv through for extra support and then cover the flat dryer pipe with indoor outdoor carpet??? suggestions would be great, I am thinking 6 to ten inches wide would be cool

ribar conducts heat better than pvc if you need support inside the dryer pipe

what about a roost board with a alum squarish down spout attached to back of it somehow with the rope lights in it? then they can get back to it and front? bands could be predrilled to extend over the wood to support it all the way along it?? or some other alum straps?
