Do you have trouble seeing eye to eye miniatures--a solution

The biggist problem I have with minis in pots or in the ground it getting eye to eye with them so I can prune, cut, or otherwise work on them. I am 6-5 and have severe arthritis. I know lots of you have the second problem and I found a cheap solution. I bought four sawhorse brackets(a ten dollar expense) and then rode around my neighborhood which is recovering from Katrina in uptown New Orleans and found all the 3x4's I needed for the brackets. After an hour of pulling nails and cutting the lumber I had two sawhorses ready for the table top(a metal shutter I had in my yard for 30 years just sitting on the ground. Now I can sit on a stool and look the bushes in the eye and work on them. Before I had to bend or kneel to access them.Photo Sharing and Video Hosting at Photobucket
