We lost power early Monday morning, along with hundreds of thousands of other New Hampshire residents. I woke up Monday to no electricity, and lots of fencing down, but thank goodness my sheep & goats had not wandered off.
I had three panels down in the small paddock. I repaired those, and moved all four sheep & goats to the small paddock until that big stretch was repaired on Thursday.
On Tuesday, my son's friend (who has a pickup truck) went with me to go get the new loom! We managed to get it into the back of his truck, and tied it down very well. Didn't stop me from watching it every chance I got, but it never moved.
Once home, we got it into the basement, in a safe spot, until I could make room for it.
Yesterday and today (Friday and Saturday) I worked on clearing out and rearranging the area of the basement where my musical instruments sit. Then I moved the loom into that area and opened it up. It fits well. I can't wait until I have time to warp it!
Yesterday I also emailed Macomber Looms (they are still producing looms, and are located in York, ME) with the serial number of this loom. They are apparently good at providing a production or manufacture date on their looms. I am looking forward to finding out how old the loom is!
In the meantime, I have listed my counterbalance loom online, with lots of photos. I am hoping it sells quickly! Hubby wants the space currently occupied by the CB loom for a desk, so he can work from home with fewer interruptions.
