Thanks for the good wishes... We are planning a mini-roadtrip next week to visit my son and his family in Richmond, VA. Any good model shops in the Richmond area?
We found a web site called AirBnB... and found a really sweet deal in the Fan... Touring the capital of the Confederacy! I'll post pictures.

Gee, any of those old cases have power supplies? Trying to find a 600-650 watt PSU to power a 12" 12V fan for my new paint booth.

Checked this AM and saw that he's taken the bait from several locations, bless his lit' heart...I do have to clean up some stuff down there but the question is now, where did he deside to curl up and die?! In my drawer again???

I hope you have better luck than I do with squirrels. I've been waging 'total unrestricted war' for about 10 years now. Every other year those monster rip my soffets apart until I eliminate the entire generation. I started with .177 pellet gun, but two years down the line I had to upgrade to a .22 air rifle. Then I switched to Have A Hearts and 'caged swimming lessons', but last fall was the absolute worst. I stuck poison in the soffet and one bastard crawled deep into the wall in my sons bedroom to die. Instead of drying up, he stunk for well over a month, which was bad enough, but the decay attracted flies, which I assume layed eggs, whose offspring found their way into the house through the light fixtures.
I got up one night to hit the loo, only to find myself in a scene from the Amityville Horror. There was at least a hundred flies covering every surface in the bathroom. I discovered it because the night light was blocked completely with them, so I hit the overhead expecting to have to get a new bulb for it, but instead it was a small furry buzzing pineapple staring back at me.
I closed the door and spent the next hour swatting flies, cleaning up the blood and throwing away everything they were on, toothbrushes, soap, etc.

HOLEY COW!
I grew up in a house that was over 100 years old and had several old closed off fireplaces/chimneys in it. Guess each one had a family in them, I thought it was normal to go to bed hearing the little feet running back and forth in the attic!

You really gotta watch out when you start hearing children giggling in the attic. Even more so when you are home alone and don't have kids :evil:

This house is over 100, same here with mice, but the squirrels are a different matter. When I was doing work in the attic, before I converted it to my shop, I found a few dried out carcasses still holding onto the romex that electrocuted them.
So when I'm relaxing at the bench, I get to hear them land on the roof as they jump from the trees.

Carol has a 1 eyed, no front claw cat that routinely brings her squirrels, moles, voles, possums, mice and the occasional illegal alien.
Mice? No problem.... ants? THAT is a whole 'nother story... but someone said that if you put Mt Dew in a cup and they crawl in a somehow it fries them... worth a try, nuthin' else has worked, including Orkin.

Squirrels in the attic are NOT cute little critters; they're tree rats!
Sometimes the varmints will chew into roof beams and joists to the extent that the next winter's sno load causes the roof to collapse. I've also often wondered just how many electrical fires are caused by mice and/or squirrels chewing the insulation on wiring or equipment.
BTW, Warfarin isn't the best poison for squirrels because it goes through their system to fast.
Good luck erradicating the little varmints.

The last place Sarah and I lived in had an issue with skunks. Now that is a creature you don't want to deal with. Luckily we had the upstairs unit in a 120 year old house so we didn't get the smell quite as bad as the poor girl downstairs. I finally went down to the Fish and Wildlife department. They loaned me a live trap. Basically a giant metal box with a springloaded door. Asked them what I do with it when I got it. The lady stared at me for a second and just said you get a garden hose and fill the trap up and walk away. Caught 4 cats in that dang thing before we got the skunk. Best part was checking it each time and gingerly opening the door a bit to see if it was a cat or skunk. That dang skunk weighed about 30 pounds.

Of course Bob you have to consider that there is no such thing as having a mouse.
When they find a place they always bring their friends and family :vmad
