Been busy missed all the storm talk….glad everyone is ok. I agree with Donna with the temps so high I was really expecting it to be bad. The sirens went off and we headed to the basement for awhile but come up 30 minutes later and was surprised to see it wasn't even raining hard here. Did have some tense moments, one daughter and son in law was at Bridgestone arena and we were glad to hear they were keeping everyone inside……then found out they had already left, but they took shelter in the Omni and are fine. Other daughter and grandson were seeing Frozen in Green hills and they evacuated the theatre to the basement. 300 people in a crowded hot basement…..grandbaby slept throughout it though and they were both fine. Son and other grandson were in the stairwell of his condo but they were fine…took the IPad for the 3 year old and he thought it was all very exciting. …..everyone safe and no damage on our end.

Troy, I might take you up on that down the road. I like my bator and I know how it works, the only problem is it will not fit through doors. So if I transfer the eggs over to the hatcher while we move it they should be fine. I think if we take the base off and the walls we can move it no problem. The trays should come out easy too.

I need to see what else I can use for heating elements. I have some ideas. Light bulbs are out now. I have looked at the incubator kits, we will see. I have a base to a food dehydrator in the incubator and that works well. I only use it in the winter.

You could have a nice side business making incubators and hatcher..... I could help.... my son could help with the wiring too. Just a thought........

I didn't used to get nervous about these storms.... but they scare me to death anymore. Just been in too many close calls I guess. The one that hit maybe a year or less a go at the house in East Nashville was SUPER scary. It is a stone house and you could hear the wall MOANING and the house was really vibrating and my ears were popping..... woke up to trees up rooted all over the place.... BIG trees..... some twisted and snapped off chest high..... they can't tell me that was not a funnel cloud.... may not have touched down but it was LOW to the ground for sure. It did hit in Mt. Juliet after it passed over us.

Then another storm I drove into and it was just about as bad. Finally made it to the farm and 3 huge trees where laying in the drive.... that was pretty bad too. I think the storms are worse or am I just older and more aware than I was when I was an invincible teen LOL. It seemed the storms change after the big tornado that hit down town and east nashville..... or do they televise it too much..... either way I don't like winter storms..... they are the worst.

I use a food dehydrator too. Works nicely most of the time...

I'm not trying to push anything on you, I don't want to be known as " the Pusher " just letting you know I don't mind building it.

Found the pullet out and about in the yard. Guess she did find shelter and was too scared to come out. Now she is with her buddies.

Glad to hear it. When the dogs got into ours this summer we were wreck until we had tracked down either carcass or a survivor for each bird.
