Let's just say I'm as good as can be expected for a man in my condition ! :) <br /><br />You're right about cupolas lending added ventilation to buildings, which is why I agreed so readily to adding them. Well, that plus I get to have a happy wife for a little while, and when she ISN'T happy with me and says I never do anything for her I can point at the cupolas and refer her to this blog post ! ;)Melissa-ParadigmFarmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14274830693649851658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2113210295764288330.post-82964034356272700242010-07-11T22:22:40.567-05:002010-07-11T22:22:40.567-05:00RB what I want to know is did the fish survive the...RB what I want to know is did the fish survive the blue arc??Melissa-ParadigmFarmshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14274830693649851658noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2113210295764288330.post-89632998226075362562010-07-11T21:47:21.442-05:002010-07-11T21:47:21.442-05:00Yikes!

Once, as a kid, I didn't believe the electric fence on a horse field was working because the horse would lean his neck on it to reach the grass on the other side. So I touched it. Yowza! It was working alright! Crazy horse.<br /><br />The second time was when I had tropical fish. I had one fish in a hospital tank for quarantine and Tonka (cat) knocked the lid inside the tank. I reached forward to 'fish' the lid out and saw this blue arch between my finger and the tank. That hurt! I don't really know why that happened...there was salt water splashed about so I figure I was standing in it and maybe the socket for the pump got wet as well? Anyway, be careful!!<br /><br />The cupola looks great! I am now converted - if it was just a private barn, fine, no cupola. But this is your business and nothing attracts money (i.e., equestrians with large budgets) like money (making the farm look absolutely top-notch). Does it provide some extra ventilation out the top too? That would make it pretty AND practical :)RuckusButthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14760056031442317243noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2113210295764288330.post-67366184865135193242010-07-11T16:49:47.713-05:002010-07-11T16:49:47.713-05:00Ooh!

(it was used for extra drinks and had a short) One day I grabbed the handle, and it grabbed me right back! My dad tried to rip my hand off with no luck, then thought to un plug it instead ;) Its not something I care to feel again. <br />I think the weathervane looks nice! You two do nice work! As alway, I enjoy your posts and pictures.Sylviahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06062332474743032957noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2113210295764288330.post-70269937800011234602010-07-11T10:54:15.532-05:002010-07-11T10:54:15.532-05:00Ouch!

Like the cupolas - and the weathervane is a nice touch too.<br /><br />(Surprised Lil hasn't ditched the fly mask.)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
