Might just have to check into one of those. My front porch overlooks a pond, which I thought about filling in when I built the house. My wife said no, let's keep it, it'll be pretty when we have guests. Well, not that I'm anti-social or anything, but we don't have many guests. The only guests we have on the front porch are East Tennessee Skeeters (mosquitos). These things are huge and sound like helicopters when they fly over. When they bite they remove more blood than the blood bank in Knoxville. They called the other day (blood bank not the skeeters) wanting me to give blood due to a local shortage. I told the lady to come up here and drain it out of these skeeters on my front porch, they'd already beat her to it. Chip
