where was the clatter stick suggestion?
OK, I would REALLY appreciate it........ just so I have an idea of what I'm aiming for!Lynn Cheffins said:Connie I have a neat outside light setup that is very cheap but works very well. Basically it is a cheap floodlight mounted on a wooden pole with an adjustable arm. Mine is a bit heavy to transport put it could be made lighter(mine stays set up all the time in the kennel). I will take a picture tonight and post it. It lights up a good size area at night and makes working outside a lot easier.
I had problems viewing the pictures, but I get the instructions. This will be perfect. THANKS for writing it all up --- I actually understand it! :lol:Lynn Cheffins said:........what I would do in your case is take a car tire rim and fill it with cement (mortar mix works good) and leave a hole big enough for 2 inch ABS pipe. I would make the upright standard out of the ABS pipe and the off-set arm out of something light - like 1 X 2's and just drill a hole thru the ABS and put a bolt and washers. then just use another piece of 1 X 2 for the arm brace with a strap hinge and some method to secure it in place(like an eye-bolt and snap). this way you can fold it down, pull the ABS out of the tire rim and just roll it away to store it. Then you just need an extension cord. I find with the light elevated it lights up a good sized area quite well. I am going to make one with the ABS as I made another running yard for the dogs and I will take a picture of it when it is done......The wood one I have is great but darn heavy! Handy plce to hang the kennel hose out of dog reach, though :wink:
Lynn, this is done and it worked out GREAT! Thanks so much for the detailed instructions!Connie Sutherland said:We started this today. (That's the royal "we;" I stood there and read your instructions.)
First one guy said "Why an old tire for the base? Why not one of thse planter boxes?" so it was lucky you had mentioned that the tire made it easy to roll it away to store it. Otherwise I'm sure we would have ended up with a nice square base that no one could lift.
I gather you already know about my digital camera retardedness.Lynn Cheffins said:Awesome! - I'm glad it worked out, now you can post us some pics of the night training....![]()
