Ray is so talented he made mounting brackets that fit on the tent frame to hold the US and Scottish flags as well as the tartan flags.

When Ray told me he was planning to make brackets for Stu's tent I had no idea they would turn out so well.
I had thanked him for the flag poles and said I originally planned to be at a couple of the Northeastern games.
I was impressed in that he said making things for the Thom(p)son Clan was about all he could offer.
Now that I have seen what he produced I am even more impressed.

Well.....as I said (before the database was so RUDELY DUMPED by GoDaddy), I LOVE THEM!  Putting the dowels top and bottom works much better than just the top - it keeps it from wrapping around the pole. They really do look spectacular ......and I thought we got a nice job on the banner prints too. If we get enough $$$ ahead someday, I'd like to have them reprinted in fabric, but for now.....be careful because you can scuff it! But it looks great!  Explain the chains on the bottom-are they to keep it snugged up against the pole?

Thanks so much for taking the time to post again. I've been tied up with all kinds of things lately, but will try to put the Estes pics up again soon.....

Your neighbors must get a kick out of you  ;D
