Put up a BB house and saw BB's checking it out today... Woooooooooooooooo Hooooooooooooooooooooooo

I'll get some pictures of my mirror I used tomorrow. It's dark now and we been busy today. My daughter had the camera at college. But unexpectedly we went up to there to bring her home last night and I grabbed it. Why.....

She called yesterday evening crying and very upset. She had gotten off work yesterday, went home and went to sleep. Last evening she got a call from a friend that woke her up. Her friend asked her what was going on??? Tori said...what do you mean? And the girl told her to turn on the news...On the news was her apartment complex. She opened the door to look outside...news crews, ambulances, police everywhere!! :shock:

2 girls in the apartment right next door were just murdered a couple hours before. :shock: :shock: Needless to say, she was a lil freaked out. We found out today the girls were stabbed to death. She knew them but not personally, she was hoping it wasn't 2 girls she graduated with last year...it wasn't. The boy that did it is in custody, he turned himself in. One of the girls fathers found them after she failed to show for a family thing at home. I feel for them, I lost my 12 year old boy in a tractor accident in 1995. Makes ya wonder what the worlds coming to sometimes. :evil:

I'll get some pictures tomorrow hopefully of how you can mount a mirror on the housing. Been an emotional night and day.

Bob. Well, I went out to the garage today, found two small pieces of mirror. Just the right size for the piece of board I had. So, I washed them, then used a bit of Duct tape to tape one on each side. Then I drilled two small holes in the porch of my trio, and used a couple of wood screws to fasten it on. I then drilled one hole in the top porch, and another wood screw to stabilize it. It's nice and solid, and straight. It's in the middle of two apartments, so it should work. IF I get anything to visit that is. ha ha. CUL Lou
