[SEL] Shop Question - Sort of On Topic

[Judge Tommy Turner]

Jimmy, the bucket trick and some others that have been sent to me didn't 
seem to have much possiblilty (although I'm sure that I could find ample 
supply of material for the bucket).  But, you may be on to something.  I 
could take care of the ones around the windows and doors.  The ones that 
are at the eve of the roof would be hard to get though.  Its 26 ft from 
the floor to the peak inside the building.  I assume they are searching 
for the warmest air by gathering at the peak.  If I give it time, 
they'll all eventually die but then I'm going to have a bunch of dead 
flies to clean off of some old iron.  Could be worse things happen (like 
a tornado and I've been through that).  Thanks to you and others who 
have had suggestions.
