Subject: 	BAlls - of varying sizes

A little while back (before the miserable day when I accidently trashed my
harddrive) there was some information being passed about sources for hollow
balls (brass, copper, iron, etc.).  If anyone has any of that source
information handy, I'd appreciate it if you could e-mail a copy to me.

Also, does anyone have any information about sources for glass or ceramic
balls that might be suitable for use on weather vanes?

Thanks,

Mike - Thanks.  I had never thought of the obvious fact that lightning rods
may require liscnsed installers.  I checked our Yellow Pages and, sure
enuff, found liscensed installers.  I think I'll go see them soon.
