| "Just leave the back door open." |
I had a guy come out to check on capturing the critter under the house. Mike found someone, but it's going to be expensive.
Nature can be pretty destructive, even unintentional. That is a nice, spacious apartment under the house. Even a homeless person would be glad to get it.
Uh...
You try living under a bridge in the summer.
Well, yeah, I guess that's true. But I don't have a homeless person living under there. Thank God!
You're welcome.
I don't really know what is under there. He said he'd catch it, whatever it is. You don't happen to know what it is?
Silly girl! Of course I do. I just like surprises.
Uh...
Listen, life is bursting with things you don't know. And ...
I'm not happy about it.
Yes, but that's not where I was going. As I was saying, the unexpected happens, things get under the house.
In 30 years it has only been cats and bugs! Not some beast trying to get inside through the floor or duct work!
Be quiet.
Yes ... sir.
Sometimes you people leave an opening and a critter gets inside. Or you entice them in with treats ... donuts, candy, cookies. The only option is to leave it alone or get it out. Sometimes you need an exterminator.
Yes, sir.
Whatever the thing is, isn't really important. It's destructive. You must get rid of that thing or it'll damage the property.
Uh ... there's a message here, isn't there?
I can see you're tired. Should I come back?
NO! I mean, don't go yet. I'm working on it. I'll figure it out.
You know, what you can't see can be pretty destructive. Whether it is under the house or inside ... you. You must check for cracks in the foundation, damaged mortar joints, leaky roofs, and broken windows. All are access points for things to get in.
Ahhhh........! Why are you smiling?
Because you always get there, eventually.
Thank you, sir.
You don't have to call me sir.
I don't?
Of course not. Lord will do.
That's a joke, right? Cause I'm not laughing until I'm sure. By the way, I don't have a cracked foundation, do I?
Looks fine to me, but keep your eyes open.
