I own a house?

[MBGreen]

We don't get mice at home, the cats' only security function here is alerting me to the presence of an occasional bug. The 1 kill came at the cabin I was living in for work in summer 2011.

Usually just their presence is enough for mice to take a hike.

Leave them alone in the house for a couple of weeks with plenty of water and no food. They'll figure out how to kill quickly enough.

Badger, I have your answer.

Build this, ratchet up the power a bit, job done.

That's awesome but after all that it seems like we got them all, there was no new mouse activity while I was up there this past weekend.

Contractors just finished my floor and wall repairs today.

I snapped my key off in the front door moving my things back in.

Depending on the rest of your day, this could be a breakdown moment, or a laugh it off kind of “wtf” moment.

Here’s hoping you can get in to your home soon and get your stuff fixed.

Had to set up a ladder in a 2' deep snowbank this morning so I could fix a piece of loose siding halfway up the side of the house. Sometimes owning a house sucks.

Well, at least if you fell off, you'd have a softish landing.

Funny, I not only had that thought, I actually said that to my wife when she questioned whether I should be going up a ladder in those conditions. She wasn't completely convinced but knows that if I've set my mind to doing something stupid and found equally dumb justifications for why it's not stupid, I'm unlikely to be dissuaded.

Did you give thought to jumping off for shits and giggles?

You are aware of my injury history over the last few months, are you not? I am not jumping off, into or over anything for shits and giggles given the choice.

It's snow, what could happen?  *Laughs inconsequentially*

That's what came to mind. Snow's child's play vs. stadium stairwells...

Me whenever something breaks: Wow, the landlord is going to be pi...yup.

Never buying a house with a yard (specifically trees) ever again. 

Maybe palm trees.
