Sounds like the place we finally sold three years ago!

We raised several generations in this house but we finally convinced them that people and mice sharing the same space was not acceptable. The hardest part was turning loose the very young ones on very cold winter nights. Bad thing was our cat would just look at them as if she was too good to be bothered to chase them. They could run over her paw and she’d pull her paw back and look at us as if to say "do something". But she’d sit by her bowl and guard it. Talk about a fat lazy cat!

It’s the same one (and its relatives), that just kept coming back because the service was excellent.

Reminds me of a plumber who I had called to fix a leak in a copper pipe buried in a concrete floor. "Only 1% of solder joints leak" ..he paused for dramatic effect.. "but the average house has 200 joints". >suffice it to say – next time I’m going to a hotel for the duration!
I *did* warn you.. >but it looks pretty.

Oh yes, saw the movie. And you’re telling me it is like that? I would go to a motel too.. We just did some remodling here also. knocked out a wall and then put in a bow window. Add to that the cracks in the walls and ceiling fixed, and walls in room painted, along with kitchen..and you got it all done LOL. HONEST IT IS DONE.. My hubby God bless him, worked everynight just to get it done and then last weekend. I helped but had to add more pain pills, more skelaxin and well hot tub came in darn handy, even in this heat LOL YOU go Kcat, hope it all works out as well as our’s did janers
Response:
I think we lived in this house three days when we discovered a leak under the kitchen sink. That is also when my husband discovered that the loop/trap in the drain pipe was installed upside down. He still cannot believe somebody actually figured out how to install it upside down. Try a house that is at the very least 150 years old! The movie Money Pit was a joke compared to this place. I think the first year we trapped over 200 mice. (We don’t kill them we carefully trap them, feed them, water them and then turn them loose, unharmed.) Bev "KC" <kcdoc…@ghg.net> wrote in message

Then you can imagine what fun we’re having. to list all the things that have been discovered as broken/leaking/corroded and improperly installed would bore you all to tears. suffice it to say – next time I’m going to a hotel for the duration! but it looks pretty. kcat – living in the "outback" of our house.
