Would be nicer if Larry posted a picture of his house with that very
high quality copper weathervane... I've been contemplating erecting a
cupola with a weathervane atop for a while now, but everytime I peruse
all the styles I can't decide. And then I realize that from indoors I
wouldn't see it so what's the point if I can't see it point wind
direction. I even thought of placing one on my barn roof, that I can
see, but I don't know that it would look ethetically correct on my
type of barn. And then I already have one of those electronic remote
weather stations.
