The husky was eyeballing/stalking/'holding' a 5' Eastern Brown under the house this morning. Just what you need at 5.30 in the morning. Dog is fine, snake is - NFI - crawl space too small to get under. Lots of escape/hiding points. So just watch out folks, the buggers are about.

awning anti flap straps
(Preview)
Im looking at getting some of those small clamp on anti flap straps. the ones that have a Velcro strap that goes around the top bar of the awning frame.
