Thanks. I am prepared to protect the DR if cages and wraps will be sufficient. I could even throw in some lighting or pipe wrap for heat. I hope to retire next year and that would give me extra time to deal with these issues.

AS ALWAYS IMHO AND YOUR MILEAGE MAY DIFFER!!!!!!!!

Life - Some assembly required, As is no warranty, Batteries not included, Instructions shipped separately and are frequently wrong!

Kentucky Bourbon - It may not solve the problem but it helps to make it tolerable!

Statistics - Data that analyst twist to support the insane opinions of those that pay them.
