Thanks gooch & Jerry. I'll try to pm you gooch when I get back in town. (going to vegas for a medical conference) I may try to get back in touch with you in a couple of weeks. I got some 5 gallon buckets from a friend that's painting a new house, so I've got about 5 of those. I may go ahead & build 1 or 2 with this switch cane, but I'll hook up w/ gooch for the other green stuff w/ limbs. Thanks for the input.
