Good point, Rehd, I've got some splicer's zip ties (telephone cable)that only require a small hole. Been meaning to tell you, Rehd, I appreciate y'all going on ahead and making mistakes, it's helpful to hear of the mistakes too, I once told my son "It ain't that I'm so smart, but I've been dumb for a long time and kept notes."
