I purchased a number of racks from a western wear & tack store that shut down. These have allowed me to get my hats off the furniture & beyond the reach of the (1,2....) eight dogs & (1,2,3...hmmm) nine cats currently in our care. Can you say "hoarder"? In our defense however I must mention three or four (haven't decided yet) are fosters.
Its like living in a hat store in a pet shop, or a pet shop with a hat store.

Really though, hats off to my very patient & indulgent bride, without who's O.K. none of this would transpire.

You are a good person to foster hats like that, but if you need to find them a good home I am willing to help.

Another shrine to pilgrimage to...Between you and J.T....I don't know which is nicer.[huh] ...However...I must now make my toilet able to rotate, so I can move to face either of the shrines!...
Rick...that is so great! Congratulations on the great design!

Thanks, Gents'

Many thanks. Puts me in mind of a quote -

“A man with an obsession is a man who has very little sales resistance.”

That's a very nice arrangement. I'm surprised, however, to not see any of your above mentioned pets in the picture! [huh]

It is odd. The cats are either in a window or a box somewhere & the pups are in the back yard. A tired dog is a good dog in this house! lol

How do you reach the hat on the highest row? by ladder or pole?

What an awesome picture! Bravo! :eusa_clap You're lucky you get to own so many hats. Do you wear them all?

:eusa_clap Just looking great! I'm afraid I would not be able to persuade my wife. She does complain about the boxes though, so I might suggest it as an alternative .

Ladder for now. I hope to construct a pole soon.

Great set up. Now I can prove to my wife I don't have all the hats.

Ha, Rick. I remember a similar shot from a few months ago and there were only about nine hats showing. If you don't spay or nueter those hats you'll be overrun! Oh wait, that would be great if it were so. Never mind.
