AN INTERGALACTIC TRANSMITTER up close…
Yesterday, I did a post about the intergalactic transmitter on top of the Cross House turret.
Would you like to se it up close?
My plan was to clean up the transmitter, repair what I can, paint it, and then have it reinstalled.
One cannot really see all the issues with it being so far off the ground.
But I will know. I will know. And this knowledge will eat at me.
Sigh.
So, I am going to contact WF Norman. They are not far away, and could repair the finial transmitter. It would be cool to assure it another century. Of course, I am sure the estimate will give me a heart-attack. Even if I could scrounge up the funds, how can I justify the expense when there are 3,746 other really pressing things?
Oh, the trials of owning a big ol’ fabulous house. Amy, you know just what I am talking about!
Of course, while I know WF Norman repairs finials, the big question is: can they restore an intergalactic transmitter?

This is INCREDIBLE! Also, I want to go on your field trip to WF Norman. I’m coveting some tin ceilings for my parlor.
You are absolutely invited!
ROAD TRIP!!!!!!!!!
Have you forgotten that you live in Kansas? How many wind and hail storms this finial must have experienced over the last 122 years…it’s a wonder that it still exists. Hopefully the restoration expense will be less than you expect…
It is a wonder!
That thing is as big as I am!
Oops, I didn’t get to this post before my last comment. I guess a yard stick wouldn’t work, DAMN that is huge, incredible.
Wow! Someone who knows the appropriate spelling to use for baling wire!
That intergalactic transmitter needs some fine tuning, then you should be able to communicate with the very far off, distant, remote intergalactic neighbours!
