Gotta say, if I found that in one of my listings, it wouldn't be the highlight of my day!

Yeah Steve, These are a common ocurrance under eaves and often, in attics.  By the way, what was the condition of that asbestos-cement siding?

The asbestos cement siding was primarily broken and seriously damaged. There were gaps that would allow for water intrusion into the wall. However, the primary issue was severe anobiid beetle damage in the crawl space, largely the result of conducive conditions such as the vents all being blocked intentionally for years and years. The posts are gone, the beams are gone, the joists are gone, the sill plate is gone, the rim joist is gone and much of the subfloor is confetti.

Steven, when I was alot younger a friend tried his aim with his pellet gun on a nest about twice that size.  He lived, but I don't know how well he learned.

Kevin,

I used to remove these for friends and family. There is something pretty exciting about getting all bundled up, getting about 20 feet away and squirting them with one of those bombs made for distance. They, inevitably, come headed your way so their is a bit of an adrenaline rush. Never been stung that way, always when I least expected it.

They'll heat you up quick!  Hornets seem to be much smarter than wasps, they some how know who it was that was messing with them.
