I would be interested in what you did to modify it.  Mine is so simple I 
can't imagine how I could do much to modify it.  I found that by nesting two 
together I could strengthen it structurally and get a smaller grid pattern on the 
sides which prevented it from throwing smaller leaves through the grid.
Marlin,
Well, truth be known, I live in Southeast Wyoming.....I dare you to come out 
here and try to find a tree. There are a few sticks growing in the yard that 
will be trees by the time the grandkids inherit the place. The family that I 
bought the house from left this bar mounted in the shower for hanging clothes on 
in the winter to dry, so it works perfect. Although, my inspector did want to 
know what I used to clean the shower. Also, I harvest this salad in the 
morning and it is getting hot in the western sun by the time I am washing and 
spinning it, so the house is a much cooler place to be. Actually it was comical 
because I talked of spinning it up, closing the door and letting it go. The funny 
part was when I talked about how a bit of lettuce escapes so if you do not 
have time to eat lunch and cleanup before market (2pm) you can just jump in the 
shower and have your leftover salad greens while you are cleaning up! I really 
do not do this but it added comical humor to the day. So, Marlin, if this was 
your idea, thanks for helping me win free tuition to next years conference, 
Lord knows I need it. But now I am thinking that two would be quicker than one!
