I need to put up a good sized bell at my house gate,folks come around here and I am in the pature or field or around the barns pens and they caint find me,so I think a good sized bell would work,maybe a little sign under it........."Ring bell for hay maker" :D
good luck

PS How many of yall have a bell,seems to me it would work well ?

If you just put one around your neck then your visitors could find you and you wouldn't waste time running to the house every time someone rang the bell there. :D

Are you talkin like an old school bell?

Here's one....

I seen some in a catalog recently.....can't remember what catalog it was tho. See em all the time at antique stores...but they are pricey.

What about one of those triangle dinner bells??? That'd work too wouldn't it. And those are easy to make.

If'n your on your tractor tho, you won't hear the bell. LOL

I haven't seen a bell in a yard for a long time but like the idea.
Around here the thing that gets stolen first from the run-down historic one-room schoolhouses is the bell.

Boating catalogues carry brass ones but can't say I've seen big ones for sale.
Slightly different use but our dog used to ring a bell to go out or to be fed. Got to be quite demanding :?

Hey, the 'experts' here in bearland tell us we should wear bells so there is evidence left......

I was just trying to save you some time. :wink:
You could also try leaving a notepad at the door, then you could go and visit the folks you missed when they are busy. Drives me nuts when someone shows up when I'm working and they expect me to drop everything. Burocrats are the worst.

I'll send you my ol' girdle, don't use it anymore. Might hold an old f*** like you together the next time one of those plugs you ride falls down with you. :p
