I live in a nice neighborhood. I don't want to cobble something together with chicken wire or rope. If it can't be done in a somewhat professional manner, then I will move on to other things. This is not a high priority. It's a tinkering project. More or less just something to be fun, yet maybe a learning experience. But if I put the time and effort into doing it, I would like to do it right. It looks like I may have to move on to other things. I thank you gentlemen for your input and your time. If there are other ideas, I would certainly entertain them.
And by the way, no offense to any ideas presented here. They are all valid options. Just not something I'm willing to proceed with. I was here asking people that are more knowledgeable than myself for ideas.
