I have a request 
I will rate this a 5 if I am able to replace the glass tube for the rain gauge. Mine broke, and if I cannot replace the glass tube, then the entire piece has far less value -- right now no value.
Love / Hate relationship...
...with Mr. Froggy. I, too, lost the tube part of the gauge. Well, let me restate that: I know where it is (hence, technically not lost) but it's not like I can get to it. That's going to require some scoping. Seems like there's no end in sight.Regardless, prior to that bad experience this was the hands-down favorite on my deck. I spent hours staring, staring....waiting to see who would make the first move. I ALWAYS LOST!! I'LL SHOW YOU.
..see how you like the dark. Hm? You like it? Anyway, I've got to get a replacement tube.
Replacement Glass Tube
Hi all,I don't own this particular rain gauge but one similar, and like many others have a broken glass. I found two good places for replacement glass:
www.accumall.com - look under "Rain Gauges" - has them for $3.75 with free standard shipping
www.plowandhearth.com - product #9128 - has them for $1.95 with shipping $3.99 (unless you also order more stuff, shipping charge varies with order)
I hope this helps!
No Rain Guage At All
Mine didnt even come with the rain guage. It didnt come with the cork pads. Thank goodness for the other reviews that amazon has supplied. They will at least give me the chance to locate a replacement.
I got mine as a Christmas present
It looks great, so that's the basis of the five stars. Well, that and the fact that the glass tube arrived unbroken. Whew!
Now all I need is some rain. I'd like to make a trade with someone in north-central California: Send us some of your rain and I'll send you some San Antonio sunshine!
