Perhaps something along the lines of an extra-large bag clip? Seems like there ought to be a ready-made solution, but I could not find anything on line... __________________ Home Inspections, Infrared (Thermal Imaging) Leak Identification and Inspection Services, Roof, Attic, Building, Basement and Foundation Moisture Intrusion and Water Leak Inspections, Troubled Building Consultations - Serving Chicago and Suburbs To view links or images in signatures your post count must be 10 or greater.
