And when I see \nducks and geese going south I know you are beginning to get chilly up there!!\n\nMuch easier to devise these things than do them, but you know doing \nis most of the fun!!\n\n\n>Collateral damages\n>\n>1-Probably a mess inside? rust? corrosion? mildew? and so on...\n>2-Upper hole plugged with a metal screw plus silicone\n>3-Struck something when drilling pass through the casing!!!
