[Rhodes22-list] Barney's Gnats and no see ums

[Kroposki]

Barney,
	As long as you brought up the subject of bugs getting into the
cabin, I recommend getting some plastic screen.  Screen off those
unofficial openings that let bugs in before you go to the Keys.  The
Keys have an enormous amount of bugs on warm nights.
	Please note that I recommended not to drill holes in the
gutters.  If you insist, find that picture someone posted last year ( it
may have been Roger P ).  It demonstrates the correct way to do it.

That's a good idea.  I know the exact area you are talking about.  I
stuffed
some foam pads in this opening to prevent an bugs from coming into the
cabin.  Drain hole in the outboard area with drain tubes would do the
trick.
Another spring project.
